Duck of the Woods They say there is a feathered creature that haunts the piney woodsAdorned it is in presentation, much beauty’s brought as shouldIf you spy the ornate Wood Duck, still or on the flyThe splash of colors are quite real, do believe your eyes ~ Poem and Wood Duck capture, Duck of the Woods © Jerry L. Ferrara
Woodie Almost unreal-appearing in its colorfully-clad garb, a male Wood Duck powers through the air. They’re sometimes called ‘woodies’. ~ Anecdote and Wood Duck capture, Woodie © Jerry L. Ferrara
A Perfect Complement As a still and placid morning broke over a secluded woodland pond, two pair of Wood Duck idled gently on a partially submerged log. Their impressions, reflections created by the specular properties of the mirror-like watery surface, were a perfect complement to the quietude of the moment. ~ Anecdote and Wood Duck capture, A Perfect Complement © Jerry L.
