One of the last ducks of the year. They hang out here feeding with the swans. As soon as the swans leave so will the mallards. I just bought a new lens yesterday. A Tamron 150-600. Unfortunately I only get to use it one day before I have to send my camera back to nikon for a small repair and cleaning. That means that there will be limited photos from me because I will only have my 5100.
Alaskan black billed magpie (Pica hudsonia)
This guy was in my backyard this afternoon pecking at one of the dog rawhides that was left out in the yard.
Corvus corax (Common Alaskan Raven)
The trickster finally gave in and gave me one shot facing me. Then he flew away.
