I've tried to track down the elusive wood duck for some time now, and finally lucked out on some in the last little while. But from the number of wood duck postings, it seems like everyone else has also stumbled upon them also! In any case, hope everyone here is not getting tired of seein them

Thanks for stopping by, and C&C welcome as always!

Damn attractive ducks, always easy on the eye with their wonderful colours. You've captured these really quite well, great shots.

Hi,
I really like # 2, you got the reflection good and the angle is good.
IMHO too crowded a little more head room and on each side would frame them nice,
Regards,
Clare

Wonderful shots and the first time I recall seeing two males close together like this. I am more used to the males being a little less friendly but perhaps thats because they are pairing up here. Excellent!!

Thanks everyone for the kind comments - much appreciated. Like you, I never tire of seeing wood ducks. Now if I can ever see a Mandarin in real life...

I think these 2 males were friendly due to an absence of females
