i love wood ducks..they are so interesting... and did you know you can build wood duck boxes and nail to the trees, and they will fly up to the box and raise thier babies in the box.... only ducks i know that nest up ....

ok, useless trivia there...just a thought...

great shot chiller... how do you know its a southern duck, and not a northern aggressor duck coming down here to burn atlanta???

actually, wait... looking closer, i think it has grits on its bill.....

nice shot chiller!, We have a lot of these around here in the spring and summer, but I can never seem to get a picture of one. Much like crows they seem to know you have a camera

So of the "Marsh-Trio" all three have their wood duck photos now? I am so happy for you!

Like I have said in one of the other Wood-Duck-Threads, I have never seen any in real life before. They are beautiful bird with their colourful feathers. And the way you framed this - including the full reflection - is really good. I like it!

Thanks everyone for your comments. I appreciate all of them.
April...thanks for the tidbit of info on the ducks. I had no idea either. I could tell it was a southern duck, cause it quacked me up.
Wally....I know what you mean. Im having a problem getting a crow and not a blue heron. Seems some birds are harder then others.
LaFoto...the colours are really amazing on these ducks. The big red eye, kinda freaks me out.
Thanks again everyone.
