Woody Drake

Recommended Posts

Ventured to Red Rock Crossing to see if there was to be colorful sunset upon Cathedral as the storm front passed leaving a few clouds. A drake wood duck was in the pool of Oak Creek, along with a mallard pair. Not much of a sunset though.

Great pictures, as always, RR. I think the drake wood duck is the most beautiful bird in the world and your picture captured it. I didn't even know they were found in Arizona. Thanks for posting.

You do take some wonderful pictures. Thanks for sharing with us. You must be retired or work for yourself to be able to get out so much and share the beauty with us.

 

Thanks again,

Kathi

I will see if he is hanging around the pool this afternoon when I go back to Cathedral for the moon rising right before sunset. Hopefully I can get a closer photo of the woody without having to crop so much and loose detail. Wish I had a 400mm lens, as I don't see too many wood ducks around here.

Back when duck huntin' was a big passion for me a Drake Woody was the #1 duck I wanted and I've still never taken one! I've got all my other favorites killed and mounted but i'm still missing the prettiest one of all! Gorgeous pics as usual Doug and thanks for sharing! JIM>
