Is this why they are called Wood Ducks?

Geoff,
Where did you photograph this duck?
I believe it is a RED-CRESTED, Sci. Name "Netta rufina" The one you photgraphed is a male. Carla

This was one of seven baby ducks that were swimming in a large pond in a public park. They were all making a little "cheep cheep cheep" noise and scuttling over lilypads and swimming around really quickly. It was almost unbearably cute....

There are some fantastic birds on this thread, here is my humble contribution, they are of a Sandhill Crane, the first photo shows the nictitating membrane that lubricates and cleans the eye, hope you like.

here is the same Crane with his mouth closed and his normal look.

Meet Turtle!! Okay, I know... silly name for a bird, but he's not mine. Wonder if he's got some sort of identity crisis from his name?? And please ignore the dirty windows. They're not mine either, although mine are just as bad.
