The sun was a bit harsh today but I did my best to avoid the shadows. Got some pretty good detail as the mandarin came in really close this time.

Took another trip to see the mandarin duck. Just a few warblers and some other common ducks around at first. Was pleasantly surprised to see him fly in with his girlfriend and another wood duck buddy later on in the morning.

Guess we have our own mandarin duck on the island now. He has a wood duck girlfriend just like Trevor too!

Took this one from about 200 feet with 1200 mm. Just a quick grab as they burst off of the water. Here is the mandarin male flying with his female wood duck mate.

Here he is at a slightly better angle. Hard to photograph as he was always on the move.
