It's not often one gets to take closeups of Wood Ducks when the light's so nice; I was quite grateful these folks cooperated so well!

Beauties Eric.

Very nice indeed. Photos certainly allow one to appreciate the color and structure of a bird in great detail. Well done.

Excellent portrait shots Eric.

Thanks guys! It was special to have both male and female get up on the fence and lucky to have them in nice light.
