Just dropped in for a visit (Anas strepera)

This male Gadwall dropped in to Seaworld's Flamingo pond, a favorite hangout for birds, for a free meal. He stayed for two days and will probably be back. Gadwalls travel between the nearby marshy areas and seaworld usually only two birds ever visit the park at any one time unlike the very numerous Mallards and Pintails.

SeaWorld, San Diego, California

September 24th, 2008

And they say, "There's no such thing as a free meal." Nice picture. :t:
 
Thanks you everyone. I'm really enjoying my D300 and never knew I could get shots like this.

Thanks again.
