So cute bird! And great shot too, Mike! I have never seen this bird! I like its color combination! :love:

Thank you very much Nidhi. I appreciate your nice reply. These wood ducks are fairly common around the area that I live. I've always enjoyed their beautiful colors.

Very nice shot of this pair nest building.

Thank you Mike
It is very interesting watching them and capturing them flying back and forth as seen in this picture

Happy Valentines Day:love:

I don't think it's going to be a tango, Shalu...more like a near drowning for that poor fellow on the bottom. :eek: Mallard mating is anything but gentle.

This is a sharp, nicely photographed image that you were able to capture.
