FLASHY MALE - The male Wood Duck is a product of evolution and female choice. The male plays no role in raising the young, so a female chooses a mate based largely on his attractiveness. Over millions of generations, as females continually choose males that stand out from the flock, the process can lead to strikingly beautiful birds like the Wood Duck. This pair was cruising the beaver pond.

Nice shot. I have 12 wood duck houses. 2 get occupied with ducks. I have yet to get a pic like that. A GAB photo.
