Another image from trip to Barnegat Light in late Jan. This Harlequin Duck hen perched high enough on a mussel encrusted bolder to catch some of the last of the days rays of sunlight. C&C welcome.

I really get a kick out of these mussel perches you guys get over at that location! Everything looks good here, but I can't help that the darker areas on the duck could be darkened more. Nicely done overall.
