Mrs. Wood Duck

This female wood duck was swimming around the old river channel wetlands at the Dutch Gap Conservation Area.

Nice shot

I followed your wood duck link and saw that the male is a real good looker ( as ducks go). Nice shot.

@jon_lip Thanks! I got several shots of her and her mate when they were courting. They were spectacular: https://365project.org/timerskine/eclectica/2021-03-27 https://365project.org/timerskine/365/2021-03-27 https://365project.org/timerskine/365/2021-04-15

But now that they've had kids - SEVEN of them - they're looking a little rough: https://365project.org/timerskine/365/2021-06-02 https://365project.org/timerskine/eclectica/2021-06-02
