This is for Hank, who has urged me to look at the beautiful northern shovelers in the lake. So I went through my photos and found one – it’s not great, but I wanted to show off this pretty duck (who obviously wasn’t the focus of the picture) as well as the cormorant, who was.

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by Pbase are decidedly unsharp.
