A Comb Duck (Sarkidiornis melanotos) was framed after a long wait for it. From the distance, gradually it came closer while foraging and my patience was well paid with this beautiful close up! This is definitely one of the most beautiful ducks I have seen. Pics was taken from a wetland in Bharatpur, Rajasthan, India.
Some fly-by shooting enroute from Blanding, Utah to Kayenta, Arizona on my way from my new employer's base of operations to where I'll be living as the pilot of a Beechcraft King Air C-90 air ambulance. I'm currently in Scottsdale, Arizona undergoing flight training, etc.
Many more OTW HG images still to come, as I have time to format them and upload. But for now, a little variety.

Jacana! The Jesus-bird!
Although locally common up North, I get a little bit excited every time I see one of these beauties as we don't see them in my home state.
Their ridiculously long legs & toes, perfectly adapted to enable them to traverse the floating vegetation of the freshwater wetlands, swamps & lakes in which they live, make for really interesting photographic subjects. It's also why they go by the name Jesus-bird, for their ability to seemingly walk on water!
During our Darwin trip, we visited the world-renowned Fogg Dam Conservation Reserve, about one hour East of Darwin in the Northern Territory. Situated within the Adelaide & Mary River Floodplains, during the wet season this reserve is home to hundreds of thousands of birds of numerous species. Unfortunately it was a little late in the dry season when we visited & much of the accessible water had receded, however the dam itself was still plentiful.
There were several Jacana dashing about the lily pads, busily hunting prey amongst & underneath the vegetation. I'll always stop & spend some time trying to photograph this species, so I was pleased when I caught this active bird as it landed on a lily pad having flown in from a nearby pad.
See if you can spoot the bonus Dragonfly!
