I love the wood ducks, they are so colorful but they are hard to photograph because I can't get close. I snapped these shots without really knowing what I was getting until I downloaded them.
I could see that there were wood ducks in the pond but that was about all I could see.
I didn't notice the third one swimming towards the pair.
Or the reaction of the female to the intruder. I would have thought it would be the male that would act with hostility but no, he seems total oblivious. I guess she thinks "Three's a crowd". Enlarge to better appreciate these beautiful ducks.
More duck than water but it is my post for Watery Wednesday, hosted for us by 2sweetnsaxy.

Hi Martha, I have never seen wood ducks...they are so cute with fat little bodies.Thanks for showing them to us... Baba
Love this!! Have tried many times to get a picture of these beauties. Mine wouldn't have been as good anyway so I'm delighted to enjoy yours. I love watching ducks and the water....
Isn't it fun to find a surprise when you download?
Delightful peek at what's happening at the pond. She certainly doesn't look amused!
