WOOD DUCK















WOOD DUCK (Aix sponsa)
Location: Brevard County FL

This photo of a wood duck is dedicated to my good friend, Peter Schutté, who passed away in 2005. Even after a passage of years, I still think of Peter who was a dedicated and tireless conservationist. He served on the Board of Directors of the Sea Turtle Preservation Society.

Peter and I found this dabbler on a day excursion. It was our last outing together before he died. This photo hangs in the Capital Building, a contribution to the Florida State Art Collection in Peter’s memory.

Haven't been over here in a while for my dose of naturalist eye candy. This duck photo and the tribute to your friend is lovely. You have a great talent.
