One of the few

This ring-necked duck was one of only a few birds at Constitution Gardens, maybe 10 ducks, some seagulls, no geese and definitely no heron.

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

Wonderful detail and he stands out so well in the surrounding water, and the waves and refletion adds so much of interest.

Very nice, Helen. I think whomever named these ducks messed up though. They should be "Ring-billed Ducks"!
