Couple In Flight
May 20<sup>th</sup>, 2020

<div class="text-justify">

<center><h2>A Fine Sunday</h2></center>

Sunday the 17<sup>th</sup> was a pretty nice drive. We enjoy doing a little driving, and shopping on Sundays, and sometimes we like to stop and get a nice bite to eat at our favorite restaurant. With the current climate we prefer to get our food to go, and it is nice that the restaurant does provide to go meals. Beats fast food any day.

We have a nice place to go and have a car picnic that is not to far away so the food stays nice and warm, and that way we do not need to re-heat it after getting home.

There is a wetland area with a small pound that some birds and ducks like to enjoy, and we get to enjoy watching them while we eat.

![DSC_9614 two in flight.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/bashadow/owZDxGTO-DSC_961420two20in20flight.jpg)

Just after eating, and about 3 minutes after getting out of the car for some pictures, a helicopter had to go flying right over us, which scattered most of the birds. I was able to get a few quick shots of these two in flight.

![DSC_9615 2 in flt 2.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/bashadow/72cV4DUX-DSC_961520220in20flt202.jpg)
Fortunately I was not zoomed in very much and the auto focus worked pretty well. It would have been nice if I could have been zoomed in a bit more, but I am still happy with the shot. Of course a little bit of cloud would have been nice, but the clouds were all off in the distance.

It's nice to have a nice sunny day every now and then. If you need a Hive account follow the link below.

I think @sketch.and.jam is right... at first I thought they were Mallards but those bills are different.  I haven't seen those birds in my area.

We get a lot of different ones, and while I like trying to take pictures of them I rarely know what the bird type is unless I make an effort to find it on line.

I know exactly what you mean... and that's why I say I'm more of a photographer than a bird watcher.

This was the blurry shot I got of a male shoveler last month. I have a nice clear picture of one of the females that I haven't processed yet. ![P4116443.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/sketch.and.jam/Xt3mPr5m-P4116443.jpg)

Looks like a pair of northern shovelers. The extra large bills give them away.

I don't know the names of many birds so you are likely correct. I was just happy that the auto focus kind of worked and they were not a complete blur. Thanks for stopping by.

@sketch.and.jam · 
I had just recently spotted a couple of northern shovelers here, they are pretty rare so the ID was still clear in my mind. Glad you had your camera ready for the flyby.
