That's right Red Mojo, you'd only eat your birdies :)

Miladysa said...

Delightful photographs!

The water looks sooo inviting! :)

Thankyou Miladysa, I should start posting watering holes we did jump into at the Photography Blog as of tomorrow :)

Onedia, the male Wood Duck has a higher and short pitched call than the female who has a long, loud and rising "GNOW?" HAHHAA

Lavender said...

All show and No Go - typical! Tehehe

ElizT said...

Quietly elegant; is that not the norm? [perhaps it IS Norm himself!]

Hhehhehee, No Go when she wants it gNow, Lavender! Hhahhahaa.

Loudly slumped in a couch with a tinnie, ElizT? It couldn’t be Norm himself from Life Be In It!?!

Do all Aussie males look this confused? heheheee.....

Anonymous said...

Yes, Perriette. Heheheee...

ElizT said...

That is the Norm I meant, of course; not that I knew I meant it but you know what I mean. [I'm sounding like a boiled duck egg in a push chair now.]

I want you to know ElizT that I know what you mean. A push chair is a easier choice for flying without throwing it HAHA! But The Egg isn't an Aussie ...

Melissa said...

What a handsome, undecided fellow! I wish I could get a shot of our wood ducks when they come back, but they're so shy. Happy weekend, Anon!

This is totally different from the Aussie males I saw over at Lavender's playing rugby. This male does not have the rippling, bulging, muscular thighs that the rugby players had...

Ces Adorio said...

How come I never catch you when you are in the computer and I can have a conversation with you just like the Egg?

Ces Adorio said...

I am talking to myself. I think I'll check out that photo of the rugby players

Ces Adorio said...

Still no one here...

I'm here, where are you? I was just at your place. Yes, I'm talking to Ces, Anon. I need to find these rugby players she is talking about. Oh nevermind...I have a new crush. I'll go watch him. Oh nevermind...I think I'll eat lunch instead.

Baino said...

I love a sitting duck but they do look funny sitting on a branch! Mine even lay eggs in the cowra pebbles surrounding the pool . . they think we won't notice the difference between te stones and the eggs . . .daft ducks!

Miladysa said...

If he's not getting in the water he needs to move over - I'm on my way! :)

tsduff said...

What is disappointing? Slender and elegant looking to me. sigh - nice place to be I'm sure.

The wood ducks I have happened upon are also shy Melissa. Perseverance and warmer weather heehee! Have a good weekend also :)

Ces, you were talking to me around two o'clock in my morning. It isn't New Year's Eve anymore! HAHA There is a clock at the top of my sidebar if you find time to look between rippling, bulging, muscular thighs ... PS: The Rugby players were also asleep!

Hope you didn't choke on your lunch Perriette };-}

So wood ducks DO nest near water Baino! I have read they don't, so figured photographs of nests where only wood ducks were seen belonged to someone else! I would love to see a post of your wood ducks and their 'stone eggs' :)

Hhehhheee, I see you went fishing at PhotographyAnonymous, Miladysa. There are waterfalls to slpash in now!

Disappointing he won't make a splash for us TsDuff!

Lavender said...

Tehehehe! I will have to go to more footy games this year with that new long lens I got HEHEHEHAHAHA!!!
Rugby players here and a couple more here

:)

Anonymous said...

EWWWWWW Ces can keep them ALL Lavender! Although ... that new long lens of yours might change my mind ;)

Ces Adorio said...

Anon, what's with the EWWW? I just want the thighs and biceps. I heard they might play in the nude. Hahahaha! Ooops, is it too risque to say that?

Anonymous said...

I wouldn't be surprised if they played naked Ces! Hhehheeee. EWWWW to all the sweat, hugs and ball grabbing, a pack of animals.

Catnapping said...
