Wonderful color and detail - well done!
Doesn't get any better than that. Great captures.
Wow, what a fabulous set, Elliott. Your photos really do justice to the beauty of the Mandarin.
You certainly took advantage of this sighting. Very nice.

I heard that there's a Mandarin Duck in Pennypack Creek but I couldn’t find it on Thursday. Then I received better information that is was seen at the Environmental Center. There was one male Mandarin Duck with a female Wood Duck. There were many photographers there today (12/4/21). I could have stayed all day just watching them.

magnificent shots of those gorgeous colorful ducks, elliott!! i love all of them, and especially the closeups!!
Excellent set of beautiful birds, Elliott!
Best Mandarin shots ever! Those two cuddling are over the top! Wow & double Wow! Thanks Elliot!....Walt
Great photos!
Mandarin ducks and wood ducks are closely related species. That would suggest the mandarin ale would find a female wood duck as an acceptable mate.
Awesome set. #5 is my favorite.
Beautiful series…. Gorgeous ducks

Lovely photographs. It looks as if those two need to get a room. Any further photos would be X rated.
