I've noticed that ducks are genuinely intolerant of humans. Usually they float away
anytime I walk up to them- as opposed to geese, which stand their ground and
hiss menacingly, or herons, which just find a higher place perch. Half of the ducks
on the Lagoon today weren't your typical mallards and I can't seem to find out what they are.
I drove to the Skokie Lagoon earlier today at sunset and
as I approached the Lagoon the ducks saw me and immediately flew away.
I pointed my telephoto lens up into the flock and got a photo of them
all flying together by using a panning technique and a low aperture/high shutter speed.
I also got a landscape shot of the Lagoon as they were circling it a few times:
