Wood Ducks in Winter!

2/8/2022

Wood ducks are very sensitive birds and they usually keep a distance from people. Since I see them everyday and they see me, too, they seemed to be at ease and started to relax and even do some performances for me to take pictures of, instead of rushing to swim or fly away.

The male duck here apparently inspired the female to show off her dancing skills.
