Tucson birds - part 2
Tucson is a great city for bird photography.... there are birds all over the place. I've been hooked on a small flock of Canvasback that have found a small pond as their desert oasis. This is a tough species to shoot - I've never had a good crack at them until now - so I'm taking full advantage of the great opportunity. They're one of my favorite duck species.

Thanks guys! David, the birds are in a pond at Reid Park near the dog walk area (access from Cross Country just north of 22nd). They hang out with all the typical park ducks. Take some food to attract the flock.
ReplyDeleteBTW, the house is great!
