The standout

This American Black duck stood out from all the others at a park in Portland due to its very dark color.

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

Posing, even posted earlier:

Nikon Z 7 ,Nikkor AF-S 300/4E PF ED VR with FTZ adapter
1/1000s f/5.6 at 300.0mm iso1000 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

A fine nature portrait. I don't think I've ever seen an American Black in the wild.

Nice sharp image of this American Black duck Helen. They usually mingle with the Mallards.

It does seem to be an unusually dark color. Like the detail in the feathers. V

Yes, she is really dark. I don't think I have ever seen a mallard that dark. She's very pretty. V
