I took a break from aiming at warblers high in the pine trees when I saw the wood duck. I don’t often see these birds on land and thought the background made for an interesting photo. (I don’t think anyone with me noticed the wood duck, as they had their eyes trained on the quick darting warblers.)

Nice sighting and capture! Sometimes you have to choose, and I’d absolutely go for the duck!!

Great eye in sighting, Belinda! A beautiful duck, but he’s just as handsome and striking in B&W! 😊

Nice Belinda! I never saw one walking around! Only in the water.

Well, they are “wood” ducks, so they would be out of the water. Very beautiful markings.

They are! They actually build their nests in tree cavities.
