[birdky] wood duck close encounter

This morning, while looking along Whip-poor-will Creek for sprouting 
jewelweeds, 3 male wood ducks swam into view from behind a big, obscuring 
sycamore. They were maybe 20 feet from me as they swam further into view. Upon 
spotting me, they were so embassased at having allowed such a close approach, 
they flew away without making their usual calls.
    It must have been too early for jewelweed, but I saw a couple of clumps of 
Blue Larkspur I didn't know about.
