Over the past few years I have had the opportunity to visit the Livingston Ripley Waterfowl Conservancy several times. Located in Litchfield CT, the LRWC is an aviary housing waterfowl from around the world. It is an excellent place to view, photograph, and learn more about various species of birds. I generally take an inordinate amount of photos on each trip and although the LRWC is full of exotic foreign species, my focus always seems to land on the north american birds we are mostly familiar with.
For more info on the aviary:

Here are a few of the photos I have shot there.

ruddy ducks and lesser scaup

Another close up. Hen ruddy duck

A sight I'd like to see in the wild someday. King and spectacled eider with a few other sea ducks in the mix.
