In case you didn't get enough of my ducks and wet birds last year, I've combined them all into one big beautiful picture so they can huddle together for warmth in these cold winter months.

How many of them can you name?

Just like a baby duckling imprints on its mother you can also imprint on this picture at my inprnt shop here.

Buffleheads will often nest in unused woodpecker holes, particularly those made by the Northern Flicker.

His colors are less vibrant in the gloomy weather, but he’s still a stunner.

My local buffleheads are so shy. This guy was extremely active though - zooming through the pond after his ladies.
