September Wood Ducks In-Flight Alberta
This evening I found a bunch of wood ducks getting ready for their evening flight. I photographed immature male wood ducks, adult male and females taking flight. Here are just a few.
In Flight Drake Wood Ducks
I know what you are thinking, more wood ducks and again with the flying wood ducks! I can’t help myself, I did it again and have a bunch of wood duck photos, but still not quite enough!
Birds & Beasts
No, that beast on the left looking over the branches is not a samsquanch, a.k.a. bigfoot or sasquatch, it is the tree eating porcupine, in this case a very cute baby porcupine!
American Avocet
From a quick outing today I photographed this American Avocet looking for lunch along the shoreline of a slough. Good to see the shore birds back from migration, but I am sure this American Avocet is looking at the ice wishing he/she waited another week or two.
Wood Ducks In-Flight
Was lucky to capture a few male wood ducks flying this morning, always fun photographing birds in-flight, especially wood ducks! Here are a few from the wood ducks in flight series, or from this morning duck shoot. I captured about 25 sharp pictures of these guys this morning and some good close-ups.
Male & Female Wood Ducks Photographed
They don’t look real, the colours of a male wood duck is nothing short of amazing and this wood duck almost looks sculpted it so beautiful. Spring birds are starting to arrive in numbers from there winter migration here in Calgary, Alberta, including this pair or wood ducks I photographed tonight.

Late September wood ducks photographed in flight in evening light, the fall colours are in full swing now making the backgrounds rich and full of colour!
