Wood ducks for camera critters

There are many beautiful sights to be seen in nature, but in my opinion the wood duck is one of the most beautiful. I hadn't seen any wood ducks this spring until yesterday and at yesterday's sighting I hadn't realized what I had seen until I downloaded my photos at home and discovered that the male mallard I had thought I had seen was actually a Wood duck. Uh huh! Today I knew where to look and this morning went back to find them. They were in a slightly different water area but there was no mistaking what I was seeing!
The handsome male is so outstanding in his colourful feathered garb!
The female's identification is unmistakable with her wide white eye border! What a sighting ! This makes my day!! Perhaps I should make a return trip there this afternoon!? I used my Canon 100-400 IS zoom lens while sitting in my car , resting my camera on my half rolled up window, while taking these photos.
