Description
A pair of syncronised Wood Ducks in full breeding regalia keeping an eye on each other as they paraded themselves in front of the female Duck out of shot.
Male wood ducks have a crested head that is iridescent green and purple with a white stripe leading from the eye to the end of the crest and another, narrower white stripe from the base of the bill to the tip of the crest. The throat is white and the chest is burgundy with white flecks, gradually grading into a white belly. The bill is brightly patterned black, white, and red. The legs and feet are dull straw-yellow, and the iris is red.
Female wood ducks have a grey-brown head and neck with a brownish, green glossed crest. A white teardrop shaped patch surrounds the brownish-black eye. The throat is white and the breast is grey-brown stippled with white fading into the white belly. The back is olive-brown with a shimmer of iridescent green. The bill is blue-grey and the legs and feet are dull greyish-yellow.

More likely removes not the camera, and the person! Which does{makes} it perfectly!!!

Such beautifully marked creatures! Wonderful shot.
A gorgeous composition, very nice!!
Wonder which one she chose....beautiful ducks and capture ~
In spite of the fact they look identical to us she will chose one and not just arbitrarily split the pair.
While they are indeed beautiful, I actually find the water surface the best part of this. Lovely job, Danny. :^) PS I like the page curl / drop shadow you've been doing on your frames.
These beauties are putting on quite a display. Excellent shot. CC
