Very nice - on my wish list to see/shoot since they say they exist in Alberta but where??Wood Duck on a local creek with Cottonwood seeds everywhere. Taken with a Canon 70D/400mm F5.6L while walking around town and moving when I took the shot. Very casual everyday shot.
Thank you, ISv! They wander, forage for food in the grass, and raise their heads to watch for a hunter with a gun.Cog, I don't know what they usually do but I really like this photo!!!
If you are ever silly enough to go to Ottawa, you can find them in several spots downtown.Very nice - on my wish list to see/shoot since they say they exist in Alberta but where??

For me just add snow and more snow.Nice photo Alan. Add some snow, mud and a cold rain and that could have been shot in my neighbourhood. Also, I would need a green sandpiper .

Here are a few for you from near my place. The female is not quite as colourful as the male....When I was about 6, birds of Canada cards were contained in my mother's tea purchases and this one became imprinted in my brain; oh how I wanted to see it. Alas, our travels were not very far from home and I'm not sure any ever show up around Edmonton anyway.
I guess I could come to honour our PM and visit parliament and then secondarily go looking for ducks to shoot. Guess which would be the highlight of the trip.

She must have been eating for quads as she then immediately caught another.
