Nice series, Eric. Good low angle, especially on the first shot. I love the colors on the adult, and haven't seen too many of the juveniles.

Thanks!

Really well-done photos, Eric. As Don says, the low angle really makes the shots that much more interesting. We have a place in my town where the ducks come for the summer but both sides where we can shoot short yet steep incline and I cannot take a shot like that although I'd love to as I'd go rolling into the water. :-D

Every time I see the heading, "Wood ducks", I think of the magnificent painted wood carved birds, made of wood, so popular in the 19th and early 20thy Century.
