I'd like you to meet Mr. & Mrs. Wood Duck out for a lovely swim. :D :D

Haven't seen many of these around here. What a treat this was, just wish I had longer glass them my 200mm

Good looking shot, Wood Ducks always look fake to me, almost surreal coloring

Thanks so much I think this is only the 3rd time in my life I've seen them in the wild. Not that common around here.

Thanks, So many pads I'm suprised they're not walking on them instead of swimming through them. :D :D

Thanks, Wood Ducks always look fake Maybe that's why the call them Wood Ducks, probably should name them decoy ducks. :lol: :lol: :lol:

only just saw these now Sandy
:shock:

what a beautiful setting for the ducks
they seem really snug in there
it's a lovely shot

:eek: lucky you didn't sink
it looks swampy around there

(but beautiful to sink in if you had to sink):lol:

Thanks Marie for the comment, Not sure about how nice it would be to sink in, there's some mighty big snapping turtles in there. :rolleyes:
