The Beautiful Designed Wood Duck!

I never tire of seeing the charming wood duck. It looks like it was hand painted with vivid and gorgeous colors, so perfectly placed. I stand in awe every time I see one.

All About Birds couldn't have said it better (www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Wood_Duck/id):

"The Wood Duck is one of the most stunningly pretty of all waterfowl. Males are iridescent chestnut and green, with ornate patterns on nearly every feather; the elegant females have a distinctive profile and delicate white pattern around the eye."

How low would a wood duck duck to avoid a piece of wood?
