How much wood can a Wood Duck duck if a Wood Duck could duck wood? Doesn't quite work? Oh, chuck a duck! That's just ducky.
What is it about ducks anyhow? They are full of character and provide all sorts of entertainment as we watch them splash and roil the otherwise tranquil water and chase each other like duck-maniacs. Sometimes they stop and scratch in the weirdest contortions with such vigor you'd swear they would lose feathers. Perhaps they remind us of ourselves in an odd sort of way.
This male Wood Duck, resplendent in his Spring plumage is doing everything he can to get that female duck's attention. Of course, it is finally Spring and that means that it is "boy's night out!" These two ducks were oblivious to the photographer (aka yours truly) as they darted around the pond. We can see who's in control here (girl duck by a long shot). It's amazing what a boy duck will do for a little duck tail. As for me, I'll be back to snap pictures of the ducklings shortly.
