A friend and I went shooting birds at Delta Pond in Eugene a couple of days ago. I've always wanted to photograph wood ducks and I finally got to. I love his colors, proud stance, and open beak.
Thanks so much for your visits, comments, suggestions, favs. I'm glad you liked my milky way shot.
This is lovely, a fav for me. Wood ducks are not common around here, but we usually have one pair (and, in due course, babies) in High Park each year (that is Toronto's largest park and it includes a big pond). I always think the male wood duck looks hand painted.
What a gorgeous capture...beautiful color, detail and reflection. I have never seen one of these ..but have looked. May have to do a photo shoot down there sometime. Would love to see one for real. Lovely shot...FAV
