I'll See Your Woody And Raise You A Pair

A Pair of Wood Ducks ...

And a Female Downy Woodpecker ...

You can see my woody from Tenn.?
Man, I need to go change to looser pants.

Noice sharp clean shots

Thanks, Lew. That means a lot.

Rather than looser pants perhaps you should avoid some of those web sites?

That's pretty much the sum total of my love life lately.

That is one fine capture! I wonder if there are minor variations in wood ducks -- the male looks a bit different from the ones I see; although I suppose it could be the angle of the shot. Lee

Yeah, getting old sucks. At least that's the excuse my wife uses

All of them around here look more or less the same as this pair, however their feathers do have a polychromatic appearance sometimes. Depending on how the light hits the colors tend to shift slightly. The blues will look black and the purples dark blue. Sometimes the purple isn't even visible. But they males ALL have that brilliant red eye, red bill, and the white traces on the head.

Both are beautiful shots. Hoping for nice enough weather to get out myself this week.
