A single pair of waterfowl (this Mallard and his mate) on a local wetland series of ponds, this morning; temps have been WAY above seasonal but the ducks have for the most part moved on (or are in the process of moving on) based on the calendar (light) I figure.

You captured all of the characteristic features. Green head, neck ring, tail curls, and the blue wing patch. Well done.

Thanks very much, Larry! And, surely the US Post Office would balk at an entry from a darnCanadian!

Thanks. Agreed, they are beautiful. They just suffer from our being so accustomed to them

Nice work, Steven! You captured the irridescence of the speculum well and it also shows on the head. Stunning display of prismatic feather colors -- no pigmentation.
