A domestic Pekin duck peeking out from behind the shrubs on the local pond. Last year the pond was visited by a domestic mandarin this year it looks like a Pekin has made this place his home. Not sure if these domesticated ducks flew the coop or were abandoned but it is fun to see them join the mix of winter visitors which are just starting to arrive.

Hi, it is cool when birds stand and even sleep on a single leg. Amazing that what for us humans seems a task is just part of living for other creatures. Hope y our day is going well.

I like how the “waves” of feathers on the underbelly mimic the waves of the water, and how the bird is tucked into the foliage.
