this morning at my Lake

As I do every few weeks, I checked on "my Lake" this morning, still some young birds about.

The detail in the first one is amazing. Your camera does a great job

Don't tell me they aren't, Tim? I'm very sure they are Wood Ducks, there were quite a number of adults around.The only other Ducks were Pacific Black Ducks, Chestnut Teals and Coots.Their young look different. If you think they are something else, do tell please.

No, not at all. I was just unsure what they were on initial glance, then thought about it a bit more and came up with wood duck. I just wanted to check what your thoughts were. Thanks.

Agree with Birdgirl 2009, detail in first shot is excellent.

I've succumbed to the birding bug!
