Some Kind of Duck! Which?

As I approached the water's edge at Delta Ponds, this duck went speeding across the water. I mean it was fast! It is really making waves! :)
It looks different from the usual ducks I see there. I am sure it isn't a mallard, its head colors and feathers seem to be different, as does the beak. What is it?

No idea what it is , but a good shot of the little guy almost running along the water...

Nice shot of this little duck in high gear.

That duck is really moving for sure, and excellent capture of the moment. I like the raindrops in the water as well, so very Oregon ;-).

This is definitely a young Hen Wood Duck... Believe me Vern, they can really haul the bacon when they wish to...

Jeanne Newman		08-Aug-2013 01:50
Pretty certain that's a wood duck, Vern. Beautifully shot, too!

Almost looks like a Norman Rockwell image

That there duck is a teenage Wood Duck that has learned it can haul some ***. When it needs to. 8-)

I will also go with juvenile Wood Duck.

Steve Thuman		08-Aug-2013 00:12
Whatever it is it's sure in a hurry!

My guess is juvenile Wood Duck. Cute shot with him scurrying like that.
