The deep diver

It was interesting to watch this ring-necked duck, who would poise himself above the water and make a deep dive for food, staying underwater for a long time, over and over. We had never seen one at Constitution Gardens before.

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