Hello friends, the American Black Duck.

1/1250s f/5.6 ISO1000 85mm (35mm eq:127mm).

https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/American_Black_Duck/id

« The American Black Duck hides in plain sight in shallow
wetlands of eastern North America. They often flock with
the ubiquitous Mallard, where they look quite similar to
female Mallards. But take a second look through a group
of brown ducks to notice the dark chocolate-brown flanks,
pale grayish face, and olive-yellow bill of an American Black Duck.

Numbers of this shy but common duck declined sharply
in the mid-twentieth century. Hunting restrictions have
helped to stabilize their numbers, although habitat loss
remains a problem. »

Merci.

Hello Asbed,
A wonderful image with a nice specie. Excellent shot from a perfect POV. Stunning details (tiny water drops around the Duck).
Marius.

Bonjour Asbed,

Tu as bien capturé les ondes sur l'eau. La prise de vue permet de voir les détails du Canard Noir. La bonne luminosité fait ressortir les couleurs. Bonne journée.

Hi Asbed
This is an amazing catch of this duck.
Great timing and nice plumage.

Hi Asbed,
Great timing and shutter sped to freeze not only the motion of the mallard, but of the ring ripples also. Very spectacular pose also, and simple yet effective composition with the duck's looking into the frame. Excellent photo, congratulations!
Kind regards from Ireland, László
