There is a creek that runs from East to West across much of the eastward sprawl of Vancouver, WA -- several miles that ends up emptying into Vancouver Lake. There are numerous parks and preserves along this creek, as well as a hiking trail. I decided to spend time and see how much life I could find. I shot with the Canon 1D Mk III and the Canon 100-400 IS lens with a 1.4x TC for the ducks and whatnot, and used the 5D and the 24-105 lens for a scenic shot and three ducks I happened to encounter.
