p.1 #1 · Wood Ducks on the Pond, April/May 2023


Even with the number of wood ducks reduced from 24 to at most 8 now, I was able to capture a few shots this year.

Canon 5D IV or Canon R5 w/ Canon 500mm f4 II and Canon 1.4x III

Super nice work Mike. Love the low angle you got on these. Great camera & lens combo!
I wish I could get close to these little buggers like this.

Mike, real beauties here. I was able to photograph wood ducks this week, but lilly pads covered the pond and ruined the chances of getting any good images. Well done. Bruce

Whoa. These are amazing! The shine on the bills of 1, 2, and 6 is so good. I feel like I could reach out and feel how smooth they are!
