Photography- one photo a day

[MidwestElkHutner]

I wanted to share this one too. The photo itself sucks. Normally, this would be deleted along with hundreds others each day. However, this one caught one of the cooler things that ducks and geese do. I thought I'd post it in case anyone has never seen it before. The duck on the left has rolled completely over on its back to drop altitude quickly. What's really cool is their head stays mostly upright during this maneuver. It's hard to see but it's there.

Bonus points if you can identify the species from this blurry mess.

Have seen that numerous times, and it is amazing...pintails maybe

I love watching ducks and geese cut wind like that, especially when I am in a duck blind.

CorbLand where exactly are you at in northern utah? I live in cache valley and have been helping out with the DWRs intiative to feed the deer and hopefully help more make it through the winter. I've got a trail cam on the spot where I feed to try to monitor how many are coming in and I have seen this exact same thing, one dark sheep has been coming in with a bunch of does and fawns. The other night I had just put down a bunch of feed and was putting my pack on to leave when I looked up and not even 60 yards away 11 doe and fawn were coming straight down the hill to the feed with the one black sheep. They knew I was there but they didn't care! I left in a hurry so they could enjoy dinner.
