Ahmad Shah: Superb capture of this lovely female Wood Duck, with nice reflection in the water. Well done Brian .
BrianMorin: Thanks. I know the focus tends to be on the male and he's great but I enjoy the subtle plumage of the female with her colour highlights. I deliberately tried for shots that best showed the fall colours reflected in the water.

Ottawa - What's wrong with this picture? Those are two of four Hooded Merganser ducklings with some of the Wood Duck's 9 ducklings of her own. The odd thing is mother duck had all 13 with her and no sign of Hoodie, at least not right there. We thought of a couple of possibilities. She was playing babysitter while Hoodie went on her own for a swim or she was the mother of the four oddballs but did't lay the eggs. Both birds laid eggs in the same tree nest and the Wood Duck ended up brooding. Interesting regardless.
