Female Mallard and babies.
I was sitting on the opposing shore in the, mostly, dried mud with the camera resting on the shoes. The Family decided to swim up river and past my location where I was able to get some incredible photos as they passed.
Nikon z7ii and Nikkor 200-500 Lens. ISO 500, 500mm, f/5.6, 1/400s + CPL Filter. Bokeh is real and nothing was cloned out or removed; just a minor crop-in and straightening.

Cashing in on that Monthly Child Credit, $350 a pop. 🙃
