Mallard - Joshua Tree

I didn't expect to see a mallard last time I visited Joshua Tree. I hiked out to the Barker Damn to see what kind of wildlife I might come across and found this guy. It's not the most interesting photo but I recently got the Pentax 70-200. I've never had a lens that gives me that much reach so it's been fun to try and shoot some wildlife.

That is a great shot Brandon. It’s pretty cool to see ducks way out in the middle of the desert. I guess it doesn’t take much water to attract them.

And it’s great that you have some reach now with your camera. I know I rarely shoot long but there are times like in this photo where it’s great to have some reach.

Yes ducks will find water. Probably like us photographers who seek fewer crowds. This is a nice image too
