He and She
Couple hang out at Reifel Bird Sanctuary in Ladner, on Westham Island, British Columbia.
The male is the pretty boy and the female is the plain jane. Detail from deltawaterfowl.org
Wood Duck drake in full breeding plumage perched on a log and the females put other plain mottled hens to shame. Both sexes have a crested head. In males, the head has many hues of purple and green with two white lines running from the base of the bill and from the front of the eye to the crest. Chin and throat are white and the large eyes are red. A burgundy chest and purplish back and tail complete a handsome plumage.
