Pond Motel Rm. # 14

Over the years our pond has been a stop along the flight path of many birds.
This Wood Duck(Aix sponsa) stayed for a day and then off he went. He sure is a beauty. MB

EG CameraGirl said...: Very, very cool! One of my goals this year is to photograph wood ducks. I don't think they are migrating to here yet as our ponds are still frozen.; March 7, 2011 at 7:16 AM

Lowell said...: This is just ducky! And lucky for you it's not hard to get one duck in a row! Congratulations! :-)

Ah...we have wood ducks, but they don't look as pretty as this one. Maybe they get all scraggly by the time they make it down to Florida?; March 7, 2011 at 11:49 AM
