About A male ring-necked duck. Native to Canada and Northern U.S. . . but in Winters, apparently it prefers wooded lakes, ponds, rivers and bays as far south as Panama. With our weather, we have many visiting!! :)

While there appears to be a halo on the tail feathers there isn't . . . dark tipped feathers in the water only . . . PS for framing and light adjustments only.

(ISO 400; f/5.0; 1/800 sec; 220mm)

Nice and peaceful. He's got his eye firmly on you - I like the way it's in the reflection as well.

Nice shot Doyle.
Looks like we have been chasing the same species...
These guys were a real nightmare for me. I use to see them all the time but they were always very far, until Larry Selman, a photographer from Santa Cruz, CA told me about West Lake.
Thanks for sharing and keep then coming.
