Wood duck with reflection on pond in florida slough
Another first for me ticked off the list, we came across a lovely pair of wood ducks enjoying an evening "stroll". While we do see these ducks in CO, I've personally never encountered any on my ventures. Quite a beautiful animal to capture in the lens!
