Not the usual place to see a duck! :+) cool!

Great capture!:)

Are these the ones that nest in holes up trees & the ducklings plummet tro the ground?
Lovely capture.
:)

Superb capture my dear friend!
Hope you are ok! :-)

Great find and capture!!!

That's right Steve, but the duckling usually fall into water and not the ground.

Wood Ducks are perching ducks Londi, so seeing them in trees is not unusual....finding them IS unusual.

Thank you Sini

Thank you Mag ☼. Yep, I'm OK.

Thank you Poulet.

my first thought! what's that duck doing in a tree? interesting. guess we don't have wood ducks around here.

My 'pond ducks' are Muscovy ducks....they are a much larger duck, but are also perching ducks. Mine do not have their flying wings yet, so I don't know if they will perch or simply sleep on the edge of the pond like they are now doing.

cool how you care for your ducks. they must be in the teenager stage where all they want to do is sleep.

wow - what a find Larry!

I don't see these around here

Thanks Bill. Wood Ducks live in your part of the country too. I grew up not too far from St. Louis and I never saw them either unless my Dad brought home some from duck hunting. There was a limit of two back then, but a person could kill 6 mallards.
I don't know what it is now...I do not hunt. I can't imagine killing one of these beautiful birds.

I have always respected people's right to hunt, but I don't really consider it hunting unless the hunter has a bow, and the prey has one too....:-)

Growing up in Texas - I was in a minority when it came to hunting and fishing. Nothing against fishing - I'm just a little too type "A" - catching I would be ok with - the waiting and fishing - I'd rather be behind a camera..:-)

Wonderful capture and bird my friend ;-)))

Thank you Binni

Great capture....the one's around here won't let you get close enough or give you time to take their pic.

Fantastic shot!
Never seen a duck in a tree!

I shot this photo through my kitchen window Jo. Can't get close to them here either.

Thank you Peter. It's not usual for the majority of ducks, that's for sure.

Gorgeous! Haven't seen one of these before.

I don't know if this species lives in the UK or not ForestSpirit. Lots of them in the USA
