Sneaking up on them


I found several ducks hiding away in the dead trees this morning, four male wood ducks and six black ducks, mostly males (yellow bills). The purple speculum on one of the black ducks' wings is in plain view here. (The black duck is the only dabbling duck that doesn't look much different after it undergoes its summer molt.) The birds were all aware that there was something lurking in the bushes.
