Wow...excellent shots. I don't think anyone can get tired of seeing shots of the Wood Duck and specially not when they are as good as these. Beautiful duck done justice. Love them. ;-)a


Best regards

The first one is very, very nice. I had no idea there was that much blue on them.

I don't think I've ever seen their feet.

Thanks so much for sharing these.
