Wood Ducks

Finally made it over to Fort Worth to photograph some wood ducks.  By the time I got there the light was terrible and the wind was picking up so there was a pretty good chop on the pond!  Wood Ducks are the North American cousin to the Mandarin duck I have been photographing.

8 males all hanging out together.  Too much lens to get more than 4 in the frame at one time.PBKJ6068-FrameShop

Made the Local News

The local NBC KXAS Channel 5 did a special interest story on me about and the Mandarin Duck that I have been photographing. I am WAY more comfortable behind the camera than in front of one.  iPhone video from the TV, pretty low tech way of capturing the segment, but this way at least I can share it.
