This morning, I rode my bike down to a pond to capture some shots of wildlife. All shots were taken using a Canon 80D camera.

The first shots are of some ducks standing by the pond. Also included is a shot of a different species of ducks swimming in the pond.

The next set of shots is of the ducks flying to a different part of the pond after being spooked by a larger bird, a hawk, that was circling around them on the west side of the pond.

The last shot of birds taken near the pond is of a small bird that had flown in to rest on a half broken fence and investigate a weird character (me) near the pond.
