I came across this wood duck chick as it was about to slip into the water. It reminded me of a child building up it’s courage to jump into the deep end of a pool. The duckling seemed to wear a triumphant expression when he finally did.
What a fabulous series! Curious to know what drew your eye to this babe? I imagine that it is quite camouflaged?!? Is this a place you frequent and just know where to watch? Great compositions, too, btw.
Thank you. This duckling caught my attention as there was little activity on the lake that day. I decided to wait around to see what he might do. It is a spot I know quite well.

Did he say “Ta Da” when he finally plopped in?
