Your favorite looking duck?

There are so many beautiful ducks and shorebirds in this world, and in North America, that it's hard to chose.

I've always loved the wood duck, maybe because I used to hunt them so much as a kid. But they have always stunned me with their beauty.

I've painted them

and carved them

But when I moved to the west coast here, where their are few wood ducks, I did find one they reminded me of old woody, as far as beauty goes, and that's the Harlequin duck.

This is out of one of my paintings

But here's some way better pictures

Woodies take it by a mile!

And....

It's not just the beauty of the bird, its the way they live. Not to sound goofy, but they are just a thrill to see. Not loafing around like canada geese. You can see them touch down in the smallest sloughs in the evening while your hunting. When your duck hunting, they come in like a rocket, making you work for every one you kill. I love woodies, and great on the grill too!
