  4. Hi Bob,
    Just wanted to stop back and say thank you for linking up your post today. The duck is beautiful, I just noticed she is wearing a band on her leg. Not sure if you can read the numbers or letters? Have a great day and a happy new week!

  11. The males are so incredibly beautiful, I expect the females must have a severe inferiority complex--- Just kidding, of course. She's beautiful too--just not as colorful. Here eyes are very similar to those of a female wood duck.

  23. I've said this before, and I'll say it again, Bob - What the male Mandarin has in flashy spectacular plumage, the female Manadarin makes up for with her serene beauty - as superbly shown in your great images. Best wishes - stay safe - - - Richard
