The other morning I heard this long, drawn out "waaaaaaaaark" followed by a staccato "wa-wa-wa-wa-wa-wa-wa". I was most intrigued and determined to find out who, or what, was making this peculiar noise. I crept from window to window then when I reached the laundry I saw these two...

I can't imagine looking out my window and seeing such beautiful creatures. I love ducks, They always walk in such a funny way.

Naughty, naughty Mr Wood Duck!
On the other hand, if you don't ask you sometimes don't get.
How fun! I hear strange birds around here once in a while but am seldom able to find them because of the dense wooded area behind the house where they like to go. I even got binoculars and with them was able to see some smaller tree clinging birds on a huge Fir tree.
Is that the voice of experience Robyn??
Wow ! that would have been something for Arthur ! He loves magpies, lol !
I bet that was fun trying to find the noise, very nice pictures. Thank you for coming by.
Mr Wood Duck must be a bit of a metrosexual....
Yep, males love to hunt their women down.... *giggles*
Metrosexual was the word that popped out in my head when I read the caption on Mr. Wood Duck.
That's unusual: it's more often the male pursuing the female. (Though not in my experience ...)
Yeah, if he's not careful she'll get bored and fly south for winter ...
(or north)
