I think the Wood Duck is one of the prettiest ducks. Their colors almost seem to be painted on them. This duck was seen at the National Zoo in DC during my last visit there.
Thanks for stopping by my blog and checking out my Wood Duck.

yes, wood ducks are quite beautiful and your photos show their artful beauty!
ReplyDeleteExactly like the three duck sculptures my mother had hanging on her hallway wall, when I was a child.

Thanks for sharing :)
Love these shots!

Oh yes ducks are very beautiful and very interesting to watch. I only see wooden ducks in crafts store as wood carvings and I never thought that there are really wood ducks. Thanks for sharing Eileen.

Beautiful duck!
ReplyDeleteIt's a fancy little thing! The tufts on its head are great.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous shots! :)
ReplyDeleteHave a great day
I especially like the last shot with his tucked in eye. The red eye is so striking. Wood Ducks live in the slough and creek by out property, but they are shy. Usually we have a chance to say "Look there's a..." and they're gone. lol
ReplyDeleteNice capture, have you been waiting there for long time to get these shots?
ReplyDeleteBeautiful header display too.

your right, this bird is a real beauty. Among all birds I would say. Have not seen it....but who knows, maybe I will.
ReplyDeletewood duck have to find out if it has a Swedish name or not, really beautiful in colors.

You're absolutely right, the colors really do look painted on - I've always thought that! Great shots, Eileen!
ReplyDeleteNice shot, Eileen. I hope to see a wood duck myself one day. No luck yet...but hey! There's always next year. :)
ReplyDeletemine is here
ReplyDeletewow....i agree..wood ducks are so lovely with all the colors that seem to be painted on their feathers...although i haven't seen one in real life
ReplyDeleteIt's a beautiful bird! I've never heard of wood ducks and I don't know if we have the species in Sweden.
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful duck, indeed! Have a wonderful week and holiday, Eileen :)
ReplyDeletewhat a cute duck, we could not find it here...in Thailand.
ReplyDeleteNice shot, I like this picture of ducks.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the visit as well.
I love your duck picture, yes I agree it's pretty.
ReplyDeleteI agree, woodies are spectacular little ducks. Photographing them in the wild can be quite a challenge. You did a great job on these close-ups, really shows off their colors.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed your snow geese photos as well. It is simply amazing when the snow geese take to the air in unison and you captured it well.
These are beautiful photos! I love bird photography. These wood ducks are so pretty! Happy Thanksgiving. Kathy
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful colors. Your photos are wonderful. Have a great Outdoor Wednesday and enjoy Thanksgiving Day.

Lovely photos of a very nice bird!
ReplyDeleteThank you for a nice comment on my photo.

ReplyDeleteThe beautiful Wood Duck. I have several that visit my pond in the early summer and then they are gone. They stay only a day or two. Poof!! MB
ReplyDeleteI agree - the wood ducks are beautiful. And the open ponds at the zoo are so nice, because you can get a good look at them.
ReplyDeleteWood ducks are just so colorful!
ReplyDeleteGreat photos of a very beautiful bird.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful colours on the duck.
ReplyDeleteGreat shots of the Wood Duck Eileen. He's got his eye on you all the time doesn't he?
ReplyDeleteI love Wood Ducks and their story is a great conservation come back story. My favorite thing about them is that they nest high up in trees and when the chicks hatch and take their first leap into life, it can be a 50 foot leap!
I thought your readers might want to see the coolest Wood Duck video I've ever seen (National Geographic) of the baby chicks taking that leap here.
