Wood Ducks in Flight at Lake Morton

Posted

Sometimes it’s about being in the right place at the right time. Like during my last visit to Lake Morton, when I was about to head back to my car. A small group of Wood Ducks came flying across the lake. Several drakes and a female gave me perfect positions as their feathers glistened in the light. I’ve dreamed of photos like these for years. I love my new Canon R5!!

In case you can’t tell, I’m already looking forward to my next visit to Lake Morton. Maybe these Wood Ducks will have cute babies who will pose for my camera.
