Received a Gift Today... Wood Ducks...

I consider seeing and photographing beautiful Wood Ducks a gift. This trio allowed me some of their time. Here are a few of the photos. Also, a Blue Jay stopped by. A Fox Squirrel scampered across a field, stopped, looked and then returned from where he came. A little bit of under water photography. I couldn't get the Turtle to come to the surface.

Here a single male Wood Duck parades his colors...

Wood Ducks, notice the crown on the top bird...
