Wood Duck Or Wooden Duck? Such marvelous colors!

Wood Ducks always look like a wood carving to me, something with colors coming out of the carver's mind. They are simply awesome creations! This one was swimming in the waters of Delta Ponds, which were reflecting the autumn leaves of surrounding trees.

Gorgeous colors. I saw one if these in an urban canal once amongst a bunch of mallards. I think it was lost.

Vern, does the Wood Duck bleed when shot or does sawdust like powder come from the wound? (G)
Thanks for supplying a good image of a beautiful bird, which I have never seen.

You're right about their having a slightly man-made look.

Is it Memorex or is it real...LOL! I know exactly what you mean, I guess that is why the wood carvings are so effective, they look like the real thing!
