Mrs. and Mr. Wood Duck (Aix sponsa) on an early morning stroll at a marsh.

Spotted during a recent photo tour. We heard their call first so we approached very slowly and quietly.

A female and male wood ducks on a fallen tree with moss that is resting above a marsh. There are trees in the background and they are out of focus. The wood duck is about 43–52 centimetres (17–20.5 inches) long. Both male and female have a characteristic head crest. The crest of the male has two longitudinal white stripes. His purple and green head, red-brown breast flecked with white, and bronze sides are readily identifiable. The distinguishing feature of the female is a white eye-ring; her body is a sooty gray-brown, with white throat and white streaked breast.

Steller's jay

A Steller's jay looking over its shoulder. A train horn was quite close, so this is the bird processing that noise. Like "Whaaat, its so loud!" The jay is standing on dry grass with some fresh shoots interspersed.
