It was lightly snowing, but I simply couldn’t resist visiting Bayou Meto Wildlife Management Area. I had the trip in mind for several days and, well, I did wake up early to take a drive with Izzie.
I was the only person out, which was fine by me. I saw plenty of birds. Here’s some of what I saw:
Wilson’s SnipeI’ve seen plenty of Northern Shoveler’s, but the ducks have always been just floating like this.I finally saw the backside of a Northern Shoveler as the duck flew away. Gorgeous coloring!
Green-winged Teal
Ring-necked ducks A Ruddy Duck and American CootTree Swallow, first spring
I previously worked as a news and sports photographer. Recently I have been enjoying wildlife photography. My approach toward bird photos is similar to sports photography. I attempt to capture mostly action and hopefully a unique perspective.
