That’s one prolific duck. Allen. It’s a great line-up. It would look really cool cropped to a pano and printed. Unfortunately, panos really don’t work well on most monitors.

What a brood! Woodies seem to have clutch sizes like this fairly often. Makes me sad that they must lose so many before maturity. Very cute shot, but it looked like it needed a little lift and a color correction so I brought into Photoshop -

Hope you like it. They are so cute at this stage!

Hi Allen  
This is one of the reasons to getup photograph birds. I think Kristen may have a point.  
We all know, you have always had your duck in a row.
