'The Beautiful Wood Duck' was awarded 1st Place in 'Flora and Fauna' at the 'Vancouver International Mountain Film Festival' for 2009. This award winning photograph was shot on a beautiful fall morning in October of 2008, when the early morning light just after sunrise was soft and wonderful. Considered by many to be the most beautiful of North American waterfowl, the wood duck is a perching duck that normally nests in cavities in trees.
