I found the place where wood ducks hang out.

They only seem to come out while its dark and there are many families hanging around this marsh.

Here you can see a couple different families feasting on duck weed.

Sadly I would need some fly fisherman pants to wade out for closer shots of these shy ducks.

They really like hiding in the reeds making shots difficult to take.

Here are the usual mallards at the lake near my house. They all come out in the evening to eat acorns on the ground.

Here is a different swamp full of mostly mallards and some great egrets.

Quite a few ducks were out in this different swamp. I've even seen beavers hanging around here though I have not been successful at getting a good shot of one.

The only other critter I could get a clear shot of was this young bullfrog.

That's all for now, I have to try wading out in these swamps for closer photos sometime... Happy #featheredfriday :-)
