20120213 081 Northern Pintail.jpg

Rideau River, Manotick

This lone male Northern Pintail has been over-wintering with hundreds of Mallards and American Blacks in open sections of water of the Rideau River. It appears he got left behind in the migration south and no doubt will try to team up with his own kin again in the spring.
