Wood Duck Pair
The quality of this photo is very poor as it was shot in heavy overcast, drizzle and subjects were 100 yards away. Even so, it is a rare sight to see. I hope you will enjoy it. Shot at Felsenthal NWR.

40D 700mm, f5.6, 1/640s, ISO 400, cropped about 40%

Very cool Daniel. Looks like they were made for each other!

Nice to see a pair not in the water. Kewl catch Daniel. I am sure you wish you could have been lots closer and had better light.

Not bad under the circumstances. I would love to see the male wood duck myself someday. They are very beautiful specimens.

This makes for a nice, simple composition!
