Sorted through thousands of pictures and saved a few of the better ones. This pond is about 40 yards by 40 yards and when I was checking calves yesterday, there were 16 geese and 27 ducks on it. Canada geese, mallards, wood ducks and teal so far.
Like how the picture is not blurry in that one with the crow flying like a bomb, good to know, I just bought 2 @ $88 each with o shipping charge of ebay . Rocky
I would say 10-12". It's actually a tree that fell in the pond so it's a pretty natural spot for ducks to float by which makes a pretty good spot. I moved it to hopefully get more flying in and landing shots but have a feeling I'll be moving it back to here again.
