The Wood Ducks were just hanging around in a quiet group until the incoming Great Blue Heron startled them into action.
The male Wood Duck was the first to go, quietly with just his wing flapping making noise.
The lower end of the ramp cleared.
The female Wood Duck at the highest point seemed like she was going to stay, but then thought better of it.
The turtle was less motivated and held his ground.

Beautifully captured – the layers of feathers!
Thanks you! It is neat to see these big birds all ruffled up.
Very nice!
Thanks!
