"COLOURFUL PAIRING"

Wood Ducks (Male & Female) - 9 Photos

This pairing of Wood Ducks repeatedly flew out and in of a small creek, presumably taking a respite from house or rather nest cavity hunting. 

Perhaps because they were a pair & could keep an eye on each other and predators while grooming and eating, they were relatively relaxed.

Although the female is not as colourful as her partner, she definitely has lovely colours in her feathers & a lovely yellow circle around each eye for contrast.
