Decoys in the mist

Took these pics of my decoys before the a.m. fog had lifted. Thought you guys might enjoy them.

This sleeper blackduck made from a frond has become one of my favorites this season. I like to sit him in the hole all by himself:

Here's a big drake with his spec exposed:

And here he is surrounded by his "harem":

A little teal pair swimming off by themselves at the head of the puddlers, heading in the direction of the sleeper:

And the drake by himself:

Been thinking, this may be the year that I actually make good on going out and making a set after the seasons go out... and just take the camera.
 
At the other end of the day, the late afternoon lighting in a flooded slough makes for some nice shots as well.

Some frond blackducks (including that sleeper) in a section of slough that flooded when the River came up this week:

szOOPS 035 (600 x 367).jpg

Couple of widgeon off to the side:

And here's a pair of frond mallards:

Now I wonder what that drake Mallard did, to deserve such a scolding from the hen.
