Quote from: "Niloc"
the Wood Duck had partnered with a female Mallard she was glued to his side lol....enjoy
Colin ... beautiful photos!  He's had better luck hooking up with a female Mallard at High Park than the male Wood Duck out here that keeps trying with no success.

Denis ... there's always Lake Wabukayne.
He was still out here yesterday morning.  :D :lol: (sorry, couldn't resist).
Perhaps you can catch the one at High Park?!

Wood Duck is on my "need 'em" list too Denis.  These are great shots.  I have seen wood ducks, but never close enough for such good pics.

Wood Ducks are so beautiful, and these pictures capture that beauty perfectly.
Well Done Colin!!

Yes, great shots, Colin! And, Denis and Moira, if you're ever up Stouffville way, my 3 wood ducks visit our pond daily along with the blacks and mallards.
