Looking a little sly this Male Canvasback seemed to be taking a break form the water yet poised to hop back in while resting at the edge of the ice. Notice the band on this guy, he is special and I wonder what story his band will tell.
Yes it does he appears to have been caught once. Maybe that experience taught him what he need to avoid it a second time around…be wary of those humans Mr. Canvasback.
He is quite a dashing figure. Maybe the leg band is just for looks. š

Hi Jim, well that’s a thought or perhaps he is under house arrest?

Great photo. The ring indicates he wasn’t smart enough to avoid capture!

It’s a confusing life for a duck – sometimes people feed you, sometimes they shoot you.

Not to be too philosophical, but…
It appears that’s the way humans treat all species including humans. Beware the crazy humans.
