Hi, today was a real "Ducky" day for me!While out at daybreak I saw 2 big whitetail bucks, I'll post shots of them later today and a bunch of wood ducks. Here is one shot of the Woody that I like the best, but more will be posted later on. Enjoy!

Such beautiful little duckies in this series! I always have such a hard time getting this close to wood ducks - they are very shy, at least the ones around here. Gorgeous colors in these.

Hi Emily, Thank you!
Yeah mine are the same...make any movement and they spot it and fly off. I rebuilt and changed the blind I have been using for a few years. the second opening gives me a better view of the upper reaches of the stream basin.This is where they were feeding. I'm so glad I did that this summer..otherwise it would have been watch them but no pics.

Nice shot. I like all the duckweed floating around him - adds a lot of depth

Hi , 
You should have them down Jersey way... Just look for a wooded marsh or stream area. I know they migrate through your state.

My dad has seen them, but they are becoming more rare here lately as the wetlands are drying up and their ecosystems being replaced by human stuff.

Hi Barb,
Yeah I'm lucky enough to have them here till late October, then they too move on down south. Sometimes a few will try to winter over here.

Well you if you can find a country road with a bridge that a stream goes under, and follow that stream for a bit, you might find a pool or stretch of open water that they will land in. Now is when they are starting to move south, and sometimes they use these spots as a resting and fuel up area. They really don't need much water. Mine stream is only 20 feet wide, and it opens up to a pool and marshy section that's about 50 yards in diameter. These guys land here and feed before floating either up or down stream. hope this helps you find them!
