Thanks guys.   It has been a challenge and a half for me to get a good flying photo of one.   Conditions, lighting, focus focus and focus.........   It felt good to capture a couple.

There was a story with the second photo.   I jumped them and was on them when these two banked hard right.   Obviously I was living through the viewfinder.   I heard a big splash to the left and turned to see commotion in the brush and water.  Color wise it looked like a hen, so I thought a male landed in the water and the hen hit in the brush.  They do like trees more than the average duck.   Then I focused on the bird in the bush and it was a hawk.   It was either a sharpshinned or coopers. He had nailed one and that was the big splash   That would have been cool to have filmed.   As far as I know, the duck escaped as the hawk made another pass shortly after that..   He was following me around as I jumped ducks.

Amazing photos bone...

Woodies are on my bucket list for a mount but I may have to settle on purchasing a couple of pictures to blow up from you.
