My wife, Malia, took these exceptional photos of a pretty male American Wigeon. Carrie Blake Park has proven to be a gold mine for wintering wigeons, as we almost always find several hundred of them there. We have been very impressed with Malia’s Canon advanced point and shoot. It seems able to do everything from taking great quality video to family pictures, landscapes, and nature photos such as these. Great job babe!
