Birding since the late 1980s...mid 40s birder. Being out in nature and hearing the morning chorus, seeing how birds interact with their surroundings and go about their lives provides me a greater understanding of the natural environment we live in. With bird photography, every photo is different, which makes seeing the same and different species exciting.

The origin of this bird is unknown, however I'm going to assume it's an escape or release and place the Domesticated tag on this photo.
He was following a female Wood Duck for the entire time I watched him. He even made CBC News headlines in Vancouver. Either way hundreds of people were lined up to see him put on one of nature's most impressive displays.

Well normally this bird takes the crown for most spectacular plumage. However not today. The Mandarin Duck currently at Burnaby is taking all the attention :)
