It was a fairly nice day in between the raindrops today. The sun was out for a little bit, so I decided to head over to Gallup Park. I haven't been there in a while and I was hoping it wasn't too busy so that I could practice social distance and get some pictures.
As I've said before, our state is currently under lockdown. There is an exception for going outdoors though and I decided to use that.
First up is a Canada Goose. I don't consider any of these as cool birds but it was nice to actually get out photographing.
A female mallard.
A mallard drake.
Another shot of the Canada goose. I kind of like this shot with the reflection in the water. It was a little on the windy side, so the water wasn't as smoothe as I wanted. I was kind of amazed how high the water was at Gallup. I think it may have covered the road for a period of time because the road was a little rougher than normal.
Another shot of the Canada goose.
The drake headed back in the water. I just wish it were sunnier.
Still a pretty nice looking bird though.
He was looking at me.
Again, I wish the water were calmer.
As I was heading out of the park, I saw this guy. I really like this picture.
And a picture of his mate.
I think this is a mute swan and is not native to the United States. I think it was brought here as part of zoos and farms and escaped and is now pretty much wild.
I still prefer the trumpeter swans to these guys.
Well it was nice to get out and take some pictures. Especially pictures where I didn't have to use maximum zoom and still have to do some cropping to get decent pictures.
I hope you enjoyed.
