Love that caption!!! You truly have a gift here with these bird shots! Did the ring-necked duck get scared away?!

@Bronnie: Quite the contrary. This is the same male seen grooming next to a mallard female several days ago. (And a few minutes after this shot.)
TOO much Matt! Awesome image - perfect timing! Your color tones remain true - very well done!

well done Matt. Do you use a stand when shooting this series?

@Dimitrios: Sometimes. The previous week or so were hand-held with image stabilization. It depends on the birds.
Always beautiful!

Your consistency is impressive! A beautiful photo once again. I love the caption also. I am glad that he wasn't a flasher or selling watches.
