Greater Scaup, Lady.

She was standing at the edge of the ice and doing some preening.
It is always fun to catch a Duck out of the water.
Thanks for looking.

You've been nailing these winter ducks Karl!! Is it like this every year at your spot? I love the feet submerged in the water. Strong light, but the white conditions below act as a nice natural reflector.

For a moment, I thought she was walking on water! Lovely light and comp.

I don't even know what to say, Karl...your images lately of these beauties on ice are simply superb. No suggestions for change, just wonderful and a treat to view.

Thanks Daniel.
I was lucky a couple of times this winter and last winter as well, but finding them is not typical.
