Description
Male Wood Duck running to take off from a pond. It looks like he's tip-toeing on water, doesn't it? He was ready to fly off with several other friends to who knows where. I love their gorgeous colors -- nature is just amazing!
From Cornell: "The Wood Duck is one of the most stunningly pretty of all waterfowl. ...These birds live in wooded swamps, where they nest in holes in trees or in nest boxes put up around lake margins. They are one of the few duck species equipped with strong claws that can grip bark and perch on branches."
Photo taken October 23, 2018, in Littleton, Colorado
