Wood Duck Cheerios

I found it! The secret to getting close to Wood Ducks; to filling the frame. Chance encounter mid morning, when I usually don't get out. There by the pond were several moms with toddlers feeding pond ducks. I figured they were tossing day old bread (which I've never seen them eat). But Cheerios! Toddlers tossing Cheerios was the trick. In the midst of the gathered feeding menagerie was a pair of wood ducks. I couldn't tell if they were actually nibbling the little O's or if they had some FOMO going on as the Wood Duck drake chasing away other ducks.
Close up, she actually has some nice accent color going on.
