There is, I think, humor here which does not translate well from English to sanity. - Sanya

Re: The elusive wood duck
A wood duck pair didn't seem to mind me being close today. I could have wished for better lighting, but you take what you can get.

That’s a pretty intense look in the first pic. All great shots you made.

Re: The elusive wood duck
My first impulse was to lie flat on the ground while shooting. This gives a better angle on the birds. I got as low as I could with the tripod and me squatting down. I'm loath to lie on the ground near water sources after my little experience with a possible snake bite last year. Not sure it would have made much difference in the look of the final image, but straight on usually gives a more pleasing look.

Re: The elusive wood duck
We get woodies in our little pond each spring.
I need to set up a nesting box out on the edge and see if any of them take residence.

Re: The elusive wood duck
I would be spending too much time out trying to get pictures of them, if I had a pond on my property with woodies in it. A blind would be in my future as well.

Re: The elusive wood duck
Well the Pup and I made it out to a new spot today. The local nature photography club chapter had an outing to a sanctuary/garden/lake upstate that has lots and lots of swans, as well as a wood duck or two.
Here's a couple of the swans
