Hey Dennis. Nice stuff. They fly away from me too and I haven't seen any little guys yet here at all. May be too early yet.

They are cute. You captured them well. And the detail on the adult male is excellent.

Thanks Gary and Mitch, it was a little of a cheat. These wood ducks are located in a public park where visitors feed them bread. If you sit down on the bank, they will swim up to you looking for a hand out. The area also provides nest boxes for the ducks.

Thanks George, it was a bright day and that helped get a sharper shot.

Thanks Karen, again the adults are used to free loading on the public and their ducklings follow along.

Thanks Joe, the wood ducks have to be one of my favorites.
