Cindy is a very talented photographer; her pictures are gorgeous.

The Mandarin duck is said to be the most beautiful, but I think this fellow is in close running. If you like this photo, you should take a wander through Cindy’s site; she is a very talented photographer.
What an amazing design these birds have.
Yes, they are so elegant.
Yesss! We saw them out on Burnaby Lake this past week. They’re called “wood” ducks because they nest and rest in trees. Yes, they do. We watched them demonstrate exactly that.
