I was fortunate enough to find a single Mandarin Duck Drake today, a species I have been wanting to photograph for a long time! Of course, I could not pass up photographing the equally colorful Wood Ducks as well!

You made great use of the attractive subjects Alphonsus. I particularly like seeing the wood duck in the background of the mandarin duck.

What's a Mandarin Duck doing in Colorado??
Regardless, you got some great shots. The Woodies too.
