Wood Ducks (Aix sponsa) -02
Small Belmont Pond, Kelowna, BC.
Woody and son, Inc., of Belmont
There is now a much larger flock of WODUs in the Belmont Ponds. Yesterday, they moved into the large pond where the young 'uns enjoyed frolicking about. This series, however, was taken the day before when they were still cautiously testing the safety of the small pond. While there were several young females, I saw only this one young drake.
Incidentally, I'm shooting from across the pond, under cover of the big willow. This shot is cropped; I wasn't as close as you may think....
