Adult female Wood Duck swimming in the golden water:

This photograph was taken at 400mm. If you’ve been photographing Wood Ducks before, you probably know how skittish they are and that it doesn’t happen to often to get such a cooperative model. This location offers a great opportunity of photographing them at the close distance. And now, it is a perfect time of the year to get a photo of them swimming in the “golden” water.

If you would like to know where exactly and how to photograph them, you can purchase my Wood Duck of Orange County, New York guide here: http://www.greggard.com/wood-ducks-orange-county-ny

Males aren't shy at this pond either :)
