Spring Bird Roundup

I have been more active in recent weeks with my bird photography in my backyard area,  nearby parks and other places. Here are some recent favorites. 


Wood Duck family
I have seen this flight of Wood Ducks on the big pond at the former Kings Grant golf course. 


In sharing some of these photos on social media I learned that the strikingly colorful male of this species doesn’t stick around to help mama raise the youngsters. 


Other research revealed something else I did not know- that Carolina Duck is another name for this duck.
