They say "a picture is worth a thousand words," and in some cases, it's very true!

Wood duck with it's reflection.

A diving duck that forages by swimming underwater to catch fish.

While I was walking down to the shore line at Gasworks Park this duck came up to me hoping to get food I think. I was able to get this closeup before he slowly turned away. It wasn't raining so the waterdrops must have come from his diving. I've always wanted a good close shot of one of these and finally got it. Most of the ducks I tried to approach would always move away except this one.

One of my favourites since I first saw them at SeaWorld in Florida. I just love their colouring.

New Zealand is home to a wide variety of water fowl. Water fowl is the common name for the Anatidae, the family of birds that includes ducks, geese and swans. Most of the Anatidae in New Zealand are endemic, but a few have become naturalised here and several have been deliberately introduced. Many of our native ducks became extinct even before Europeans arrived in New Zealand. There are currently nine species of native ducks in New Zealand, and several of these are endangered.
