I don't care if he's semi-tame - he is gorgeous.  I tried to photograph him in the spring and he didn't come in close enough for me.  These photos are great Denis - the colour is spectacular.  I took some later this afternoon and the light was abysmal.  There's also a Northern Pintail there (also semi-tame) :)

I hear you Denis.  My wood duck shots are not great as the lighting was poor.  I know I'll talk myself into going again!  Your shots are gorgeous - he really does need the sun.

Great series Denis. Super detail in all of them but especially the back shot.
