Who doesn't love a redhead?
2016 was essentially my second year taking bird shots and it was a full year. With my acquisition of the Canon 600 f/4 prime - thanks to my wife for letting me get this - it seemed like heaven opened before me in terms of both lens reach as well as discovering, at least for me, birds that I had never really seen before. That includes the redhead duck imaged above. While not as outrageously beautiful in terms of the number of colors of the wood duck, the redhead duck, with its almost iridescent cinnamon head, seems more refined and simple in its plumage. I found that I rather liked quite a number of the birds I've been able to capture digitally and the redhead duck ranks way up there!
