I’ve photographed the occasional wood duck here and there over the years, but when I visited the Reifel Bird Sanctuary in Vancouver a few years back, they were all over the place. This handsome and cooperative drake even waddled toward camera while I was down on the ground, before heading off into a nearby pond. Nikon D800 with Nikkor 200-400mm lens (at 300mm) ISO 800, f/4 at 1/500th of a second.
Your ability to get low to the ground makes many of your images stand head & shoulders above others, as in this instance, Sean. I could get down, but righting myself would be a problem!

What I’m curious to know is how much wood would a wood duck duck if a wood duck could duck wood?
Follow-Up Question:
How many albums could a duck drake make if a duck drake worked with Drake?
HAHAHAHA You’re ridiculous. Also, fair question.
Scintillatingly stimulating discourse, as always, Louis.

Getting harder and harder as the years go past, but I can’t resist getting low if the animals allow me the time.
“I’m ready for my close-up, Mr. DeMille!”
The animals just love you & your camers to get so many great photos

Thanks Aunt Sue. Ducks do have quite a bit of personality when you can get an up close and personal perspective.
What a wonderfully curios look! I think he was just as interested in you, just as your Aunt Sue said.
