| Mallard Male |
They come in pairs this time of year. I did not see the female until they flew. The mallard seems to me to be the most common duck in our area.

This shot was what I consider lucky, because auto focus does not always lock on when the background is cluttered. It tends to work better once the duck gets to the blue sky background.

I am learning to judge what light I need for these shots. Low light does not make it. I have learned from the camera by using auto ISO. I am able to set my EOS 20D which does not have auto ISO using what I have learned from the 7D. This shot was taken using the 7D and a Sigma 50-500 f/4-f/6.3 lens. When possible, I rest this rig on a monopod (first two shots). I was able to pick up the whole thing and shoot this one hand holding all including the monopod.
