Hide From The Camera Dude

I know the lighting was not great for this photo. I tried to edit it to make it better but the contrast is not great. With all the rain lately every low spot is full of water. This frequent pond is aways full in the sring then just a field in the late summer. This mommyWood Duck and her baby ducks took off to hide in the bush.

Vibrant Wood Duck … Elegantly Colors

It has been a while since I have photographed a male Wood Duck. The colors are so impressive. They all toook off shortly after I took this photo.

Young Wood Duck

We saw two very young Wood Ducks but I only captured one decent photo. I am guessing these two were born this year. Life is dangerous for such young ducks.

Wood Duck

Wow, it has been a while since we have photographned a male Wood Duck. We have seen females, but no dudes. This is such a small duck too, but their colors and apperance is so unique and beautiful.

The third photo was taken by Teresa. What an interesting shot. Well done!
