Caught this shy one with all its colourful feathers. Not sure if it is a Mandarin Duck, but perhaps one of you might be able to correct me there!!

Very nice colors and composition - an excellent photo. The contrast between the colorful duck and the drab water is very well done.

I think this guy is a Wood Duck. Gorgeous capture of a gorgeous creature.

Great capture and the colors are awesome. You must have been very quiet to catch him napping. I can't tell which one so it must be Wooderin.

It took me a little while to get over the duck's head facing away...too bad you can't tell animals how to pose! But the feathers are beautiful...

Hi Ann, what a fantastic photo of this stunning duck! It is a Wood Duck, but I had to look it up to be certain. Lucky you to have found him and lucky us as well! As always, thank you for sharing such beautiful images.
