This pair of wood ducks was photographed from a blind at the edge of a pond. The two had been swimming for a few minutes in range of my camera and I took a handful of photos (the previous blog post shows one of the first). As I watched, the two ducks turned toward each other and appeared as though they were conversing as humans; the drake talking to a listening hen. The pose only lasted an instant before the drake started nipping at the hen as some sort of courtship ritual.
400mm lens, 1/800 second at f/2.8, ISO 2000.
