Wildlife

Mandarin ducks and southern California is not typical, however, I learned by chance that every year, one male migrates the coast and was fortunate to come by him on an afternoon at the Los Angeles Arboretum. Luckily, I had my long lens this day and had the time to be patient since he was on the far bank for most of the afternoon. Once he swam over to the near side, I was able to catch a few profile shots.
