Wood duck in fall foliage

Had a tough time with the exposure on this one.... an immature drake wood duck in the fallen leaves.

Got all the #'s off this band and reported it to the bird banding lab. That can be quite fun piecing together a band # from multiple pictures!

Thanks for looking.

I tried to lighten up that first picture.... better or worse?
