Ready For Spring

I came upon this pair of male and female wood ducks hanging out in the Assawoman Wildlife Area. In the spring, pairs of ducks seem to spend their time in protected ponds in our area getting ready for mating season. So I don’t disturb them, I sometimes shoot photographs from my car window along the road. As the wood ducks progress through the following months, it’s fun to see them move into their next phase of caring for their newly hatched juvenile birds.
