That was at 300mm and cropped just a tiny bit to make the vertical
straight. I was pretty close. Probably no more than 10 or 15 yards
away.
I think the birds at the duck pond get used to people. People fish
there every day. There is a walking path around the pond. Kids bring
old bread to feed to the ducks and geese. There is a large pavilion
and playground at one end of the pond where there are a lot of kid
parties. A little farther away are baseball and soccer fields. So
there is a lot of "people" traffic.
if you're careful you can get within a few feet of most of the birds.

We've got several places like that around here. Mostly flood control
lakes with surrounding parks & green-ways. Ducks & geese tend to become
habituated to people because they're constantly being fed - enough so
that they are becoming a nuisance in some places - but the Great Blue
Herons tend to remain skittish.
