Colorful Quacker
I came across this Mallard while walking around Eldridge Park Lake in Elmira, NY, on a sunny spring day. He had walked away from a rather large collection of his web-footed friends and paused for a bit at the shoreline. "Hurry up and shoot before I jump in," he seemed to say. And I'm glad I did, because capturing this fella in all of his finery was a real treat!
