Birding at Hefner Lake

While birding at Hefner Lake Saturday with Pat Velte, we spent at least twenty minutes trying to get a good photo of a Wood Duck. Of course he did his darndest to keep us from getting a good shot with the help from tall grass. After twenty minutes the little guy eluded us and we diligently searched another ten to no prevail.

What I found comical about the whole ordeal was if we hadn't lost sight of him, we both probably could have been content photographing him until either our camera battery ran down,we ran out of space on our memory cards or we ran out of sunlight:) Anyway,it was nice seeing a new duck in the company of the usual Mallards:)
