DC064 Posted August 28, 2021 Author Share Posted August 28, 2021 Thanks everyone for the ID. No red neck threw me off, but this is non-breeding, which is a good match. Dave 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was sitting quietly on the edge of the lake at water level (got my butt wet) and the group of birds approached very close, within a few feet. If you sit quietly for long enough they get used to you. Then it was easy to get frame filling shots. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
