Haven't posted here in a long time but been following weekly. Great shots everyone! I didn't scroll through all 1074 pages but I didn't see any Wood Ducks, so here are a few for the collection.

As usually there are a lot of nice shots posted from my last visit, no way to cover all of them... Congratulations to all authors!!!
Since the forecast was kind of bad for today (but didn't happen!) I just took a trip to a park ~1-1.5 miles from my home. Overcast but with a lot of diffuse (reflected) light - my favorite light conditions!! The goal was to close the chapters with the Pacific Golden Plover and the Rudy Turnstoune: I posted some photos of these birds in non breeding plumage before (even par of pics of very late breeding plumage for the Plover) and now it's +/- complete - soon they will go North for breeding.
First one is older pic of non breeding Pacific Golden Plovers, second and third are males in breeding and the fourth is female in breeding plumage.

The Rudy Turnstone is coming next!

WOW, when I don't get notified many shots get posted and so I'll cop out and sayV nice to all of them.

Now a while back Eagles were being posted and I felt left out so here's mine. ;) It's down the road to the edge of town at Old Masset where a carver does his magic.
