Fluidr / Colorful Takeoff by MyKeyC

Wood Ducks are our most colorful duck here in Florida. The males are the most striking and I liked the green duckweed background. They don't give a lot of warning before takeoff but there are a few tells. When they stop feeding or paddling and are looking off in the distance, I like to think of it as "talking to the control tower for takeoff clearance". Sometimes the female will bob her head and they'll have a brief conversation. Other times, they just take off out of the blue. (Aix sponsa)
