Shoveler in fall waters

Taken at Constitution Gardens on the National Mall. We finally we able to go there after a too-long absence. We saw a lot of ducks, some geese, two cormorants and a few squirrels, but no heron. I have to wonder what happened to him after seeing him there for several years.

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

And the pièce de resistance, posted earlier:
