Kelly,

WOW. That is just awsome! The detail on the pintails on ice photo...stunning. Gotta love the baldplate too. Geese great photos too. Even I passed the test...I still need help identifying them a bit. How many types are there?

Let's keep that one p.1 for awhile--for the guys in serious withdrawl! Very well done, and why don't some others chime in w/ birds only photos, if you got em. That is excellent wildlife photography. Love those 4 surviving pintail too. Guess 4=14 returners next fall, with a little luck!
Let's have ODFW commision Kelly to do a hen sprig id for the reg's next year and push for a two bull sprig limit next year!

Wow! Those are great pictures. Is your camera mounted on a shotgun stock for practice?

That one of the Widge with the ruffling feathers in the Vaccum formed as it lands is one of the coolest photos i think i've ever seen.

It should be on a wall at a Duck Photo Hall of fame.

PS,

The Platoon of Coots on parade is also pretty interesting. I wonder who'd win in a fight, Coots or Pigeons?

They look like thy'd be a pretty close match up.
