About This is a female canvasback duck. Canada and the northern US . . . uhhhhh . . . until Winter . . . then a short break as far south as Mexico (and along the Gulf of Mexico). Of course . . . you don't need to go that far to get great weather . . . and SHE didn't! :)

Excellent sharp focus. I love the look of the ripples in the water. Never heard of a Canvasback Duck - I can see where this duck gets its name from, those feathers are beautiful.

Thanks Lisa. I've been a birdwatcher for years and the duck varieties have increased (it seems) this year. Likely due to the cold up North! Anyway . . . they seem to like our weather!
