Nice capture of the wood duck Steve.

Jude

Thanks Jude. These guys are always fascinating to watch and photograph. Challenging, too, as their iridescence depends on the angle of the light. Luckily, it was good that day.

Best Wishes,
Steve

Fantastic images Steve!

Ted

Thanks Ted! I think it's worth the 60 miles round-trip just to "get" these guys. And if you throw in the Mandarin Duck, too, well then it's a no-brainer...

Amazing colors of a beautiful bird...very well done.
Eric

Thanks Eric! I always thought male Wood Ducks look "fake", almost like a decoy...Or a duck filtered through the eyes of Salvador Dali...

Real nice Steve, I'm liking #2 from this cool set.

Thanks Herb. The angle of light that day got his iridescence perfectly, so I'm a Happy Camper.

I've seen several of these beautiful ducks, but just can't get close enough with the equipment I have. Beautiful photos and amazing detail!

Well Dan, it looks like you should be able to get pretty close with your 100-400, which is my "backup" lens to the 500. Maybe you could try feeding them, that's what brought this guy in -- a photographer was throwing out food and then taking closeups. Me, I was just taking advantage of what he did...

Best Wishes,
Steve

Mark

Thanks Mark. As you say, quite a duck indeed. Just glad I had my 500 f4 with me, and another reason Never To Leave Home Without It.

Nice Steve & it was wonderful to see you again

Lil

Likewise, Lil, it was great to see you again and hope we have an GTG soon, now less that 6 months until I head down the roads of the US and Canada for a year or two...

Nice work on the wood duck. It is like the eye keeps following me.

Patrick, you make him sound like the Jesus painting whose eyes supposedly follows you around the room.

Thanks for looking!
