A Wood Duck hen searches for her Family
My arrival at the wetland scattered the Wood Duck family. After concealing myself I waited quietly for the wildlife to resume their normal habits. After about an hour the Wood Duck hen returned calling incessantly trying to reassemble her little family.
A pair of Wood Duck males arrived feeding along the water's edge.
And this tiny duckling swam to within a few feet of my hiding spot. It knew that the clicking going on in the bushes wasn't normal and was brave enough to approach for a closer look.

Lovely shots..well done.I know that Wood Ducks are very skittish, so kudos to you..you must have been very quiet!
That little duckling melted my heart! Very nice photos.
Great images of nicest duck of all ;)
Beautiful images! The last one of the baby is fantastic. As it swam closer and closer to you I'll bet you were afraid to move. We're fortunate that your trigger finger kept on snapping away!
Wonderful photos! :) I especially love the one of the duckling, so sweet!
The whole wide world opening one minute at a time. You must have seemed different to his young eyes.
Good job. I just love those wood ducks
Coy, so beautiful and the little one that came so close, too sweet! Have a great remainder of the week~
I like the simplicity and closeness of this shot.
Do you have a blind, or do you just kinda hide in the bushes? These are beautiful images. I'm always in awe of the male's markings.
