Wood Duck Pair

"Wood Duck Pair" by Debbie Oppermann. I was absolutely thrilled when these two flamboyant Wood Ducks finally come out for a swim in the spring marsh in Guelph Ontario Canada. They had been hiding on the far side of the wetland where I could not go. I have been wanting to see these stunningly pretty perching Ducks for some time. The male is in courtship colors and they have paired and are now looking for a nest site, which means they will be around for some time.
