Can’t do just one shot today, ’cause I got two that I’m really happy with. The last full mock trial practice before my teams go into the regional competition ended a little early today so I scooted over to Branchbrook Park in Newark. Lo and behold… there were lots and lots of birds around, including a lovely female mallard:

What made the day even better was that I managed — finally! — to snag my first even half-way successful bird in flight — a little ring-billed gull:
