The dabbling ducks (
Genus Anas) are inhabitants of marshes, ponds, and small lakes. These habitats often are thick and tangled. When danger comes, they have to get up and out quickly. They leap into the air - virtually straight up - and then get going.
When any of these birds take flight, it happens so fast that we can easily miss the details.
This case study is from a burst of five photographs taken in less than one second. The Mallard (drake) is cropped from the five photos.
