I decided to try something a bit different. Although a bit risky, I thought it would be cool to set up a cam in some deeper water in the middle of a wetland, to try to get some diving duck pics.

I left it out for a few days, and it was super windy. Waves were actually hitting the cam, but I got some neat perspectives of the pics.

Mostly coot shots, but also a couple redheads. I chickened out and pulled the cam after 2 days. I'll probably try again soon now that the wind has died down.

Enjoy!

Great pictures! Don't know that I would have been brave enough to hang a cam like that.

Very interesting pics!

I lost a cam on a creek bank when the creek rose after an all night rain. Last picture I got was a coon swiming by. Then I think it tried to flash under water and shorted everything out. But the CF card still worked and still had pics after it dried out.

Great photos! http://www.jesseshunting.com/forums/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smiley-faces-toast-beers.gif
My marsh camera is in about the same amount of water but has a lot of protection from wind because it&#39;s up against a beaver lodge and has a bunch of marsh grass near by.

Nice setup Pred.
Wonder,
Were there a lot of false pics with the glare on the water & the wind ?
