#14 Giving you the Bird

Saturday as we were driving back from Mills, mom and I were driving by Juab Lake. Because it was a rather windy day, we noticed the waves blowing on the lake. I thought maybe I could get a few pictures of the waves rolling across the lake. I pulled the car over and stepped out to snap a few pictures. As I was walking close to the lake, the area right below me immediately came alive. To say I was startled is a bit of an understatement. By the time I managed to get myself back together I was only able to get a couple pictures.

The picture above was my favorite as I was able to get this duck before he took off, just as he skimmed across the water.

Even though they are not close, you can still see a handful of the ducks as they are fleeing from me.I was getting ready to head back to my car, when this straggling bird decided he couldn't wait any longer and he had to get away.
Not exactly the pictures I was expecting to take as I was driving up on the lake, but in the end they turned out to be better.

Great shots! Managing to get birds in action is HARD! These are wonderful.
