There is no mistaking the shape of a male Wood Duck and it’s always a treat to see them close enough to see their colors.

This pair was hanging around with a small group of Blue Winged Teals, paddling around the edge of a small pond.

There is a walking trail that loops along both sides of this pond and the ducks gradually work their way from side to side, not in any great hurry, but changing direction as people pass by.
