If you spend your time on wood docks snooping on Wood Ducks, you might be a quack addict.
 
There is just something endearing about ducks...from the childhood rubber duckie to the screaming Peking selling insurance.  We can't get enough.
 
Here are photos of some of the rarer ducks I've found lately in GA.
