Feathered Friday - "Time to Feed"

Tanking up

Summer is rapidly ending here in Alaska. I have heard some geese already starting to head south. The weather is still plenty warm, down right hot on some days. It is mid-August though. We still have a lot of smoke lingering around the area. On Tuesday we went to see if we could see any birds at the Kenai Wetlands View area. For a change this summer I did get to get some shots other than the typical seagull. I do still like seagulls though they are pretty birds and they do like to pose for pictures sometimes.

Tuesday I got a few pictures of ducks. There is a small little tidal creek when the tide is in, and I was lucky enough to see two sets of ducks.. First picture here is a few stitched images. In total there was 16 images, but not a full fill picture that I wanted, but I was able to do a nice crop to show the creek and a couple of ducks from it.

Here is a little closer zoomed in view of the ducks in the creek:

You can see all the lush green turning to a hazy yellow. It has been nice seeing the different color changes throughout the year. From a blanket of white snow, to the prior years dead seeming grasses, then the greening of those grasses to lushness, and now the gentle fade away from green to the hazy sometime vibrant yellows and gold, soon to be the brown stage just before the snows return.

Now more about the ducks. They were hungry, thus the Tanking Up headline.

I am not sure what they are feeding on, but feeding and eating they were doing a lot of. I was lucky that I caught this one picture with a head out of the water.
