Wood Duck Trio

Of course, after I set myself up between the trunks of trees facing the water, a group of beautiful male wood ducks flew in and landed in the woods behind me. I carefully twisted myself into a pretzel and got down low, so low I was sitting in the water. I was able to focus through the branches of some downed trees. I am still going through the series and finding some gems. If you are a bird nerd, you know how skittish these beautiful ducks can be. A few times I thought they spotted me or at least heard the sound of my camera.
