Wood Duck Portraits

My Saturday morning photo session with the Wood Ducks was the best I have ever had. 

The ducks, with mating on their minds, were not quite as cautious as usual.

The entire encounter lasted eight minutes as the ducks moved in and out of the brush searching for and chasing a lone female. 

Upon review I found that I had captured nearly 50 shots, most of which were keepers.

 The action shots from this exciting encounter will soon follow in a later post.
