Wood Duck
We have been fortunate with our weather here in the Pacific Northwest. Several warming sunny days and another week of the same in the forecast. It seems even the birds at the wildlife refuge are taking full advantage like this Wood duck sunning himself with 4 others this morning. This is cropped to about 50% a large dark tree trunk was cloned out of the urc.
Ridgefield National Wildlife Refuge, WA

He looks like a nice, well-fed specimen. You got good detail and color, and caught him in a good pose too. He seems to be looking right at you. Good capture Craig!
