DAILY FLICKR PICKR DAY 529

Every day we share a single photo from our Flickr Pool shot by one of our faithful and talented readers (that’s you!) I know what you are thinking - it's only been a couple of days since this space featured a subject of an avian nature.

I know what you are thinking - it's only been a couple of days  since this space featured a subject of an avian nature. But I can't really help it - 'tis the season of the bird after all. Another Action Shot™ by The Black Azar of one of our fine feathered friends, a male Mallard Duck. This particular specimen was spotted at Stanley Park, and The Black Azar used a really quick shutter speed to freeze the action just milliseconds before touchdown.

I love the tension in the bird's body as it braces for the resistance of the surface of the water.
