Yesterday afternoon, these guys were caught in action mating at a local marsh - Léon-Provencher near Quebec City.

Not the best technical shot because of the obstructive vegetation - but for our region signifigant enough, because these birds are rarely observed.

Canon 7D with 500f4 lens with 1.4 extender @ 1/1000, f5.6, ISO 400, about 40% cropped away.

Cheers,

Mike
