p.1 #1 · Male wood duck preening

The male wood ducks have had there fun and now they are hanging out together while the females incubate the eggs in tree hollows. I've been looking for the nests for years and have not found them. All of the males were on the shore in the shade of some trees on this unusually warm March day at Kissena Park here in New York City. Later I saw the group of males fly off on an adventure. I'm looking forward to the cute little ducklings.

Comments and suggestions welcome,

Morris

Morris--I see you use the Nikon 500, the Fuji 150-600, the Fuji 70-300, etc. Do you have a favorite lens, or is it based on what you are targeting, weather, distance, etc.? Thanks for the fine images! --Frank
