30-JUN-2016 Vern Rogers (fotabug fotos)

Two of a Kind

Identifying these birds took a lot of online research, but I found pictures just like them. They are Wood Ducks, whether they are immature males that haven't yet developed the distinctive crest on their head, or non-breeding birds as was stated by some, isn't clear to me.

A photo said to be of a non-breeding wood duck is seen here - http://www.pbase.com/nsxbirder/image/102682262 Other photos online seemed to indicate they have not yet fully developed distinctive characteristics of the adult wood duck. These are the first like this I have ever seen.

The white circles on their neck are a great giveaway. Looks like they are just starting to change to breeding colors.

Cool comp and processing. I like the high key effect.

Nice to see them perched on a branch or tree Vern. They look like two young males to me.
