A new camera,springtime in minnesota,6 mile bike ride

first up,cottontail, 12x zoom
next,kind of a rare sight around here,until the last 10 years or so.Also 12x.
some ducks.I forget which.Has the white crescent in front of the eye in males.full digital zoom
deer and turkeys.Turkeys must be 400-500 yds away,deer maybe half that.
old crab apple tree
merganser at sunset 12x
same spot,no zoom
from the opposite side of the pond. 10 minutes later.mergansers and a mallard. 12x

GeedubyaThanks for posting the pix JB. Not bad, biking and photoging. Quite a bit of diversity in just six miles.

Yes indeed.My friend,affectionately known as "duck" told me that in a few seconds, after seeing the pics.
