My wildlife photography has been centered around the Wood Duck families in a local wetland lately. Although the ducklings are the focus of my efforts other critters make themselves available for photographs.
This Muskrat swam right up to my feet as I crouched in hiding at the water's edge. Realizing something was amiss; it looked up into my eyes and twitched its nose for a few seconds before diving to safety.
The Wood Duck babies are growing rapidly.

I'm surprised the muskrat swam right towards you. You must have been very quiet. The wood duck still looks very fuzzy!
ReplyDeleteFantastic shots. The coloring and composition are just terrific.
ReplyDeleteThey are all wonderful photos, The ducks are adorable.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos. Nice reflection in the first shot. Love your header photo.
ReplyDeleteHey Coy! Just dropped by to say hello. I'm not blogging a whole lot but check yours from time to time. Love the family/duckling shots!
ReplyDeleteOh the babies are so adorable! Love the muskrat photo... Did you get splashed when he dove back under?
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shots. I love visiting your blog and love when you leave such nice comments on mine. I think I may have seen my first wood duck last night but was unable to get a clear image and unable to get closer to see with my own eyes. I'm looking forward to when I am able to get my stronger telephoto lens for sure.
ReplyDeleteLove the photos!
ReplyDeleteThe wood ducks have been kind to you this spring and you have photographed them well. I kind of forgot about the local muskrats, maybe that will be a morning in the near future.
ReplyDeleteJust a hint of the red eye on that duckling-How cool!
