Wood Duck With Fish?

It looks to me like this Wood Duck has a small fish in its beak.
But I can't be positive. What do you think?
Wood Ducks are so unusual and colorful!

Beautiful catch of this very colorful Wood duck, Vern. Looks like a small minnow about to go down the hatch?

Pierre Schneider		05-Feb-2012 18:17
Ok, very coloful pic. Perhaps a snake ?

Judith Barnett		05-Feb-2012 16:19
These wood ducks have such unusual eye color and I see there is some matching color in it's beak too. Beautiful speciman of a duck!

Fabulous capture. Love these colors

Sure looks like a fish. Either that or it has a world record large tongue for a duck! HA HA I love that big red eye

Eloine		05-Feb-2012 03:36
Wow - looks like you have a spot light on him! Incredible. I love the painterly streaks in the background too. I can't believe you caught it with a fish!

I can't tell, Vern, but it sure did make a pretty picture, with the soft reflections on the water and the beautiful duck. Donna

Super catch of this beautiful duck, Vern. Does look like a fish tail-first, doesn't it!

Chris Cochems		05-Feb-2012 00:38
Looks like it to me too, Vern. He will never swallow it tail first though. Nice male Wood duck.

Jeannie		05-Feb-2012 00:34
Gee , it could be..wonderful catch, Vern

Paul Milholland		05-Feb-2012 00:07
