Two Wonderful Wood Ducks!

There were TWO gorgeous Male Wood Ducks at the Sudbury River on Saturday. This is the larger of the two.

There was quite a significant difference in size between the two males. The smaller one had a rounder, more compact body.

I am still awed by the fact that the most beautiful of all ducks can be found less than a mile from my house! They're all over this town, but most have no idea they even exist.

I wish I could find a female and get a good shot of her. They are beautiful, too.
