Duck sampler

My doctor's office happens to be very close to my old place on The Muddy River. I looked down into the river and was lucky enough to see these colorful birds!

From left to right they are a male wood duck, an American black duck, a female wood duck, and a male and a female mallard.

The Muddy never freezes in winter, so it usually gets some wood ducks, lots of black ducks, sometimes mergansers and buffleheads and some other stuff. I forgot how much I missed it!

I imagine some migrate from the north, and some migrate to the city from the frozen ponds in the western part of the state.

Awesome that you saw some Wood Ducks out in the open! They are usually hidey and shy around here.
