p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Mr. and Mrs. Wood Duck with Close-ups

I sat on the boat launch onto Kissena Lake using the forest as a hide. I had my camera down low and waited for the ducks to swim past. To my delight they were very close to shore on this foggy day.

Comments and suggestions welcome,

Morris

Nice work, Morris. Amazing detail. Few get close enough to ever see the subtle colors on the females feathers. Well done.

Beautiful Morris. I like that you appreciate the beauty of the female as well. Easy to overlook when compared to the male.

Nice looking woodies Morris, I do like the Mrs images here very well captured! That last one must have come in real close.
