They never look quite real.
In some light the feathers appear to be painted on.
So far this has been a good year for Wood Duck photographs. There have been times I didn’t get any opportunities for over a year, so I will gladly accept this season.
Wood Ducks
These have such lovely colouring. Great shots, Ted!
Wood Ducks are one of the most colorful birds we have here. Their feathers are almost smooth giving them a unique look.
