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.

    They are pretty and I love how they spread themselves out on that log.

    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.

    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

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