Scaup

while still sceptical as a Scaup (Lesser...note the domed head), enjoying the gradual yet tumultuous transition to Spring...these elusive ducks are only winter visitors to the park, preferring to spend the summer months further north

What a beautiful bird. Very well detailed. The ripples are lovely. V

nice shot David, but your model seems a bit pensive.

A handsome looking bird. Nicely captured with excellent focus on the eye. V

The cute eye is fantastic and the color of the duck is wonderful. It's face makes me smile, David. BV+++++

A fine capture. Love the bokeh in the BG and immediate foreground.
