info |
It was
getting dark fast (ironically, as in most of my better pictures)
so I
felt forced to use my SB-28 for fill flash. This beautiful Wood Duck
did
not go to Mexico to winter. A threatened North American species by
the
turn of the 19th century into the 20th, they are now a very well
protected
species. Their multi-colored breeding plumage is unexcelled
among
ducks as far as I know. Their scientific name means "waterbird
in bridal
dress", worn from October through June by the male or drake. |
