Wood Duck - Vancouver, BC
This is on Stanley Park's Lost Lagoon on a fantastic morning tour with the Birds of a Feather Walk hosted by Stanley Park Ecology Society. This male duck was accompanied by a female not far away and were patrolling the edge of the shore. Mating will be the only thing on this guys mind very soon and the pair will find a suitable nesting hole or box up a tree where the babies will be hatched. Very soon after, they will make the giant fall to the earth and trotted off to the nearest water for relative safety.
