Thanks Sue. If you’re ever up in the Vancouver area, you should stop by the Reifel Bird Sanctuary, west of downtown. Great place for all types of ducks, owls and other birds.

—– To please the eye
—– Made to swim
—– Made to fly
—– Not stroll about

That duck is well on his way to being a peacock. Beautiful bird and, no surprise, ridulously good photograph.
Thanks Michael. They sure did hit the lottery when it came to colorful plumage.
I’ve never seen a wood duck on dry land. Nice image, Sean!
