Got the name of a good dentist?

I photographed this female Woodie yesterday afternoon. It was unseasonably warm, but a very nice day. I know that ducks aren't supposed to have teeth, but it sure looks like this one does! :D I didn't notice until I got home and looked at the images on my computer. This one made me chuckle!

That looks too funny, I think she even needs an orthodontist. :)

OK so the boring biologist has to comment! The teeth are lamellae (singular lamella) and are used to strain food from the water. Most ducks have them in one form or another.

Beautiful image Doug- it's just so clear and sharp and the exposure is dead on. I see a bit of noise in the dark OOF feathers in the FG. This doesn't bother me but you could get rid without losing detail.

I'm still in shock because the bird is not flying!

This one's got them in spades!

A far side duck!LOL. Now that's a killer image for one mean duck. Cool image on that count alone, the teeth!

Dracu-duck needs an orthodontist. Al Forns works only on barnyard ducks so you will have to find someone else.
