The Female Wood Duck-- some might say that she got gypped compared to the colorful male, but being overly colorful is not good when you are sitting on the nest-- subtle colors save your life and those of your little ones. Almost sounds like some great plan is at work behind the scenes.
One evening while I was watching a small clearing by a stream a male arrived but the light was so poor I could not get a photo.
It was not till I pushed the ISO up to max 6400 that I could get this photo of the female which arrived after the male had gone into the undergrowth.
