Nice photo!

While I am figuring out how to take inflight shots, I wonder if most birds in "duck pond" are captive or not. :)

Excellent photo. It's not a Wigeon, though; it's a male Teal coming out of eclipse plumage.

In answer to Griffin, there are no longer any captive birds in the Waterfowl Collection.

Nice one! Looks a bit oversharpen though. ;D

Tried several times to access the duck ponds, but its always locked; even the balcony inside the education center. Its appears that the ducks know the area is closed. They all gather inside :) Appears to me that most of them are wild.

Geoff, thanks for your correction. This bird was taken in broadwalk hide and should not be the captive bird, I believe.
Cheers,
