Mr Elusive

I was in place before sunrise, well concealed, and waited two plus hours for this handsome wood duck to appear. I got my closest look yet without being discovered.

Nikon D7500
1/1600s f/6.3 at 300.0mm iso800 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

It is so satisfying when a plan comes together. I always prefer these shots with the animal in it's habitat over close ups. Very nice image. V
