I turned around and there she was. I would have liked a bit more space between me and the duck but you’ve got to work with what you’ve got. Wood ducks are still in our area, I hope for a few more photo opportunities before they fly south for the winter.

She’s so beautiful, and you got a nice clear closeup of her.

Too close?? This shot gives us much detail of this beautiful bird. I think rules can sometimes be disregarded.

Normally I like to capture some of the bird’s environment. But I tend to look at the “rules” as suggestions. Thanks very much.

Isn’t she a beauty! I always thought they were shy, apparently not. 🙂

Ain’t she sweet! When I see them at the local pond I visit they usually swim away quickly, but occasionally one is bold and waddles close like yours did.

I find that they’re bolder late in the season. Thanks, Steve!
