I followed the trail that runs along the water&#8217;s edge, heading southwest for about a half mile to get a better look. At first I had trouble relocating the birds, but once I did, I was sure they were RNGRs. I spent some time on the shore getting\u00a0good looks in my binoculars and great views through the scope. The birds slowly worked their way towards me a little bit and I was able to get some usable photos, the light even improved a little to help me out.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4334\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4334\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/IMG_0884.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-4334\" src=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/IMG_0884-1024x817.jpg\" alt=\"~\" width=\"1000\" height=\"798\" srcset=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/IMG_0884-1024x817.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/IMG_0884-300x239.jpg 300w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/IMG_0884-1000x797.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/IMG_0884.jpg 1274w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-4334\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">~Two Wood Ducks that were working their way along the shore finally realized I was there and fled across the lake, past the two grebes.
