I am excited to have published a 2023 Calendar featuring my photos of wood ducks and mandarin ducks. Mandarin Ducks are considered one of the world’s most colorful birds. The Wood Ducks were photographed in Crystal Springs Rhododendron Garden and Oaks Bottom Wildlife Refuge located in Portland Oregon. These ducks can truly be called Rainbow Ducks as they display all the vibrant colors of the rainbow. The title Rainbow Ducks came to me while I was photographing a Mandarin Duck in Happy Valley Park. I overheard a young enthusiastic birdwatcher exlaim to his Mom “Look at the Rainbow Duck!”
