Todays featured bird is the Australian Wood Duck. The Australian Wood Duck is a medium-sized 'goose-like' duck with a dark brown head and a pale grey body with two black stripes along the back.
Males have the darker head and a small dark mane, with a speckled brown-grey breast and a black lower belly and undertail.
The females have a paler head with two white stripes, above and below the eye, a speckled breast and flanks, with a white lower belly and undertail.
A great couple, don't you think??

Beautiful duck and beautiful photos!!
Wow. Great shots. I especially like the one where the water ripples from the movement of the duck in the water.
Lovely images of your beautiful little Wood Duck... many thanks foe sharing.
Beautiful shots; you always manage to photograph birds perfectly!
Great photos of the Wood Ducks. Around here I see them walking along the road side and over lawns. I know they must go to water sometime but I've not seen it.
Nice looking duck!! Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.

Great duck photos. I am just now beginning to learn how to photograph them and I still have a lot to learn!
Lovely photos!
What handsome birds! Especially love the speckled "belly" and the black "mohawk". Great idea to make something fun out of a not so enjoyable necessity.
Great pictures! And thanks for the explanations: they are most helpful.
Beautiful photos.
Regards and best wishes
