"...but failed to post." Sheesh Don, I'd post these the minute I got home from the pond and do so again every few weeks, lol. All are good but #5 is excellent!

Thanks Cam. The pond is only 50 metres from my front door! (I live in a swamp).
#5 seems to be the prize winner here.

Great shots Don, can hardly wait until this Fall and I have an opportunity to photograph them again.

Thanks Mike. Unfortunately I don't get a second chance in the fall. It's next spring for me!

Wood ducks are one of my favorites. I really enjoyed looking at these. #2 really shows him in all his splendor.

Thanks. They certainly do strut (or swim!!) their stuff.
When you have it, flaunt it.

Thanks Mo. Can I call you that?
#4 is very appealing but the light was awful. #5 was just special with the light and my good fortune to be ready when the take off occurred.

Na, I like Morris

Beautiful set, love the golden light.

Thanks Brian. The best time to photograph these is in the evening, so if the sun shines I often get a chance at this great light!

Nice series.
#4 needs some mood music.
#5 is my top pick for action, comp, and detail but not nearly as cute as the snuggle scene.

Love the pics Don! My daughter and I built a Wood Box for the wood ducks in a little sanctuary near us. They actually use it. I will be getting pics spring next year.
