Waterfowl, such as ducks, geese, grebes, and terns are camera friendly in a few ways: they come in all sorts of vibrant colors; they are often seen in large numbers, creating unique flying patterns; they are fairly common and easy to find. There are less in the winter of course, (many fly South), but large numbers of ducks still occupy rivers and open water. The Inglewood Bird Sanctuary, in Calgary, Alberta is an excellent place to see a number of different species of ducks and grebes.
