Excellent as always Jon. The middle Mallard is especially sharp. (I always get their backsides cause they usually fly away from me !!!)

Amazing Shot of a difficult subject. Well done. I have yet to have any success at shooting birds in flight.

This immediately felt like it was good enough to go to favorites and so it shall. Superb.

Awesome shot. Fyi....Ducks in flight always remind of Klingon Bird of Prey warships. :)

I second the klingon observation.

Thanks everyone. I appreciate the comments/favs.
I'm surprised it came out like it did at 400mm and 1/160th handheld (with VR)... I took a bunch of shots and on this one I got lucky. Many others were not framed right, ie partial birds, and others were blurry.
