| Well Bruce and I took Connor to the zoo on Tuesday, I took plenty of shots but not that many are spectacular. It was cold and windy and lots of the animals were hiding. lol The rest were constantly on the move. Here's a couple anyway. A Spoonbill  2 Mandarin Ducks  Connor, a little wary of some goats coming in from his right. lol  Connor also had his camera, but I haven't seen his shots yet. |

| Wow Jan - great series of which I think #1 is stunning. It has great clarity and wonderful DOF. Not an easy one to take without overexposing the pure white feathers but you've done well. ~ John | |

| Jan that first is shot is freaking looking. Wow looks great. Reminds of those birds in Disney's Alice in Wonderland that had shovels for beaks and were constantly digging. | |

| Thank you John, Fee and Robin.
Fee the mandarin ducks is pretty poor, I had just changed lens and would have preferred the other one of course. :-) |

| Jan, I am a birding fan and can really appreciate the nice white spoonbill. White is very hard to get a good shot of. The Manderine ducks are fabulous, they are so lovely and you captured their lovely plumage and may I say, Conner is a DOLL!!! | |
