Nice shot. Looks like a Mandarin Duck.

George I have seen your shots of birds and thank you for the kind words.. But it is far from what I have seen you shoot..

Thanks for the ID..

It is hard for me to get a vivid clear photo with this Sigma 70-200 f2.8 APO DG Macro Lens.. I will have to save up for a nice L

Definately a Male Mandarin Duck, lovely ducks to photograph.

That is one cool Duck. Honestly? I thought it was part Wood Duck and you guys that know how to use a computer used layering and made like 5 ducks become one. Cool looking bird.

LOL @ Rich.

It looked like they were two thirds smaller than a wood duck and does look alot like them also.. some of the most colorful birds I have seen in Texas.

Yeah Rich I know what you mean these days but that duck is real.. there were like 6-7 of them..
