Chasing Wood Ducks at the Dinky Line Trail

Back at the Dinky Line Trail chasing Wood Ducks — close but never quite close enough.

Another nesting season for #WoodDuck #AixSponsa #WODU and #HoodedMerganser #LophodytesCucullatus #HOME is chugging along at Huntley Meadows Park. We have 4 boxes with clutches incubating, and eggs in another 4 boxes. Box #62 (pictured) was replaced this year, and already has a clutch of 10 eggs, with perhaps more to come. We expect hatching in late April-early May.

Wood ducks are the quintessentially "ready for my closeup" creatures. No such thing as a bad photo of one. :)

"I am the prettiest duck! No one can deny it! I will flaunt my specula! I am pretending not to be cold!"

Thanks to @[email protected] for letting me know the #woodduck was at the #Halifax Public Gardens today. I (happily) dropped my housework to go get photos. #birds
