on July 15, 2019What a super shot! She must have found her mate and is veering off from the other males. Anyway, it's a wonderful shot.

on July 14, 2019Beautiful capture of this grouping of colorful ducks.
I see that you photographed it in mid-June, which is surely breeding season, so I suppose each of these adult ducks was already paired off, and not trolling for a mate

on July 14, 2019I've seen Harlequins several times in my life, but certainly not anywhere near home! I see the lady harlequin as have a mind of her own, and not having to follow the crowd ;-)

on July 14, 2019I'm sure she would say the other three are headed in the wrong direction :-) Nice shot of this group
