I remember how I was excited when I learned that a Mandarin Duck found its way to the Central Park, New York on October 10. These ducks are commonly found in China and Japan but not in the United States. Later I also learned that a Mandarin Duck has a relative. It's a Wood duck which is also a beautiful and unique bird. Yes, these ducks are relatives!
I photographed the Wood ducks at our local pond.
