Getting your ducks all in a row.....


Took a short drive and ended up seeing more Wood Ducks than I have ever seen...for sure at one time, and maybe in my life.  Not that it was such huge amount...


These were quite a distance away....


Every shot is zoomed in, some more than others..


Aren't they beautiful...


And below is a different male.


He and two more that were with him flew away when I got out of the car.


There were more that I didn't get to photograph...

They sure are beautiful. A rare find around here. I have only ever seen one, and from a long distance as well.

We don't seem to see them as much as we used to in the wetlands.

Good shots. We had Wood Ducks nesting in a nearby tree a few years ago. I haven't seen any since. But remember when I posted about that little duck I saw in our pond? Now I'm thinking that it might have been a Wood Duck.
xx, Carol

the most I have ever seen together is 4 or 5. these are amazing shots. the first one I really love it... theya re all sitting every other duck looking the opposite way.... the first time I saw a woodduck, I asked diane what it was and she said wood duck. I said are you sure? why a name like that for a stunning painted duck.... this was amazing to find so many

Oh how beautiful! I have only seen one of those colorful males along the canal a few years ago. But it was too far for me to get a good photo. You are blessed to see it so close up Friendship

Oh, I would so love to come upon a wood duck scene when I am out and about! I don't remember ever seeing one for real. Lovely photos!

Resumes are all excellent with lots of detail. They are beautiful birds.

So cool to see them all standing on the log. Usually turtles do that! :)
