After the train, I went back to Island Park to see if I could get the owls. I didn't see them but I still had a bit of light left so I decided to head over to Gallup Park. It has been a while since I've been to Gallup but with the weather getting nicer, I'm gonna have to head over there so I can walk a bit after work.
The light was just about perfect when I arrived. The sun was starting to set, so I was getting some of the nice orange light. I caught this guy as he was starting to swim to me.
And then he started to turn.
I think this is a mute swan because of the little thing over his beak.
If I remember correctly, mute swans are not native to North America. I think they have been naturalized here over the years though but they are still considered as invasive.
They still look pretty nice.
And a nice reflection.
And then I saw a mallard. These are not invasive species.
I kind of like this angle.
A female mallard. I think she was trying to get the water off her wings.
Back to the male mallard. The light was hitting him just right. I like how their heads look green in the right light.
One more shot as my light was started to wane fairly quickly. It was nice to get the park though.
