Well the skies were nice and clear blue today despite the colder temperatures than yesterday. It made a wonderful day to shoot some pics. Today I was trying to take pictures of mallards and geese. While shooting at a spot I saw a fellow photographer. I have run into him several times at Presque Isle. His work at capturing wildlife there is simply marvelous. I think of myself as fairly brave, I will go nose to nose (slight exageration) to moose in Colorado but this guy pratically can feel the foxes breath on him as they exhale. Well, he does have some wonderful zoom lenses so hopefully he stays at a safe distance. Anyway he was kind enough to give me lots of pointers on shooting wildlife, no hunting license needed. I need lots of practice but got a few captures that turned out ok.
Thank you for looking. ~Jackie

Beautiful captures!
These are great, I especially like the first one. How nice that you were able to get some tips from another photographer too!
Stunning captures!!! I like all of them!
Wow Jakie...these simply take my breath away. The first shot of them in flight is especially amazing. They truly are a beautiful sight.
I am completely in love with the first shot - it is beautiful. You have captured the movement perfectly.
Love the flying birds!! Wow! Beautiful captures!
Wow--NICE shots, especially the Canada geese in flight. Good work!!
these are really nice! that first shot is amazing!
These are awesome, I especially like the first one! :)
OK????!!!!!! You are way too modest; these are fantastic! I love the first one---did you pan as you shot this, or is the background effect created by your DOF? Really gives a sense of their flight, the way you captured it.
Agree with the group. First shot is a winner. Very inspiring nature photography!
