Wood Ducks

We saw these Wood Ducks on a walk at Stanley Park (Calgary) this morning. Of course, these Ducks were swimming the far side of the river. Thought I'd try taking a photo on my new little Panasonic FZ18, set to 5 megapixel photo (i.e. 23x zoom). At least you can see what they are, LOL, after heavy cropping! I'm not sure if I have any photos of Wood Ducks uploaded to Flickr, because they have all been such distant images, but I wanted to add one to my Birds of Alberta Set. It will do until I get a beautiful close-up one of these days - yeah, right! Need to get back to taking some macros - I really don't like taking distant shots.
