Wood Duck ~ (Aix Sponsa)

A male wood duck dries its wings after a good bath. I like to call this the hood ornament pose (when the wings are forward it's the conductor pose).

Thanks for visiting!

Blue-winged Teal ~ (Anas discors)

Blast off! It's always remarkable to me how these ducks can go from a dead stop to looking like they were shot out of a cannon as they take flight.

Thanks for visiting!
