At the Rio Grande Nature Center, Albuquerque. He walked around below the feeder, but she felt the need to fly up and perch on the feeder.

Such beautiful ducks Stan... Is this an enclosed area the ducks are in? I seldom see these around here and would enjoy photographing them.

I like wood ducks.

Thanks, all. These ducks were supposed to be on the pond with other ducks. However, they came about 100 yards across land to get to the feeder intended for small birds. The sparrows had to wait until the woodies left before coming over to eat.

Nice capture! Yesterday, for the first time in my life, I saw a pair of wood ducks in the wild and wouldn't you know I didn't have my camera with me :/

Thanks. Sorry you missed the chance, maybe it won't be the last.
