Quite envious of your detail!
Both birds, Pintail and Wood ducks, were quite close and not very mobile.
That is unusual for Wood Ducks. They are usually skittish.
I know - we’re surrounded by waterfowl. Even if I move around inside my house, it’s enough to set them a-flutter and a-squawking I’m usually trying to use my phone camera from a fair distance away, and facing into the sun, so can’t get much detail at all; even if I see it, the photos are too dark to show it.
They seem quite sun-stunned and content.
You have such a good eye. Every photo you post is more beautiful than the next. And I am fascinated by a bird native to the Caribbean spotted hanging out in Hunterdon County. Thank you for sharing!
Not long ago there was a brief article that said some species have been migrating further north, by 00’s of miles, because of global warming.
