I'm really in awe of photographers that get photos of birds like that.-I give it my best try but my photos couldn't compete with the thumbnails of that photographer.

I sure love that duck, I have captured shots of the Wood Duck and the Harlequins here but the Ruddy Duck is really a beauty...very unusual colors also. Recently we have a White-cheeked Pintail appear at the pond!!
