From my first canoe trip on the Oswego River, in Wharton State Forest in the Pine Barrens. We only had one vehicle, so we paddled upstream & back. Got a few strange looks...

These shots were w/ my trusty 30D & 10-20mm. It's "outdated", but it still takes a decent picture...

Thanks, Blaine

Interesting natural history. I changed the title accordingly. Does that mean we ought to be down there right now photographing winter ducks? :-)

In case you are wondering about the submergent species that is creating this dream like depiction - I believe it's wild celery - I remember it from an intense 7 month pinelands botany course - (Vallisneria americana. Wild celery is particularly valuable as a food source for waterfowl .For example, the scientific name for the canvasback duck (Aythya valisineria) is derived from its association with wild celery. Canvasback and other diving ducks such as scaups, scoters and redhead, rely on the winter buds and rootstocks of wild celery for food during migration and in their wintering habitats (Korschgen and Green 1998).
