Keeping a low profile


I did a thorough search for the Wood Ducks yesterday, and found about fifteen of them (all but two of which were males) perched in the dead trees at the edge of the marsh. This shot shows five of six I found at one location; in another there were at least eight. In addition, there were two juveniles feeding in an open spot. The remainder of the flock are likely around someplace. It was nearly the end of October before they left the marsh last year, so I expect them to be here for a while yet.
