Sunday, May 3, 2020 I've been stalking this male wood duck since iceout with little success. I know his spots but if I'm there waiting he doesn't show. If I happen to come upon him when he's there, approaching is impossible. If I so much as twitch a muscle he disappears. Today I arrived at the spot just as he and the Mrs were flying in. They didn't see me as I was well back in the trees, and managed a usable shot, at least. Image has been cropped.
