Harlequin Duck
Photographed at Barnegat Light last week. This is my favorite duck species, not only because of the beautiful plumage but they are also fun to watch since there is a lot of interaction. Their calls are not very duck-like. If you are not familiar with it, here you can find an audio clip: http://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/H...in_Duck/sounds

What a beautiful species and equally beautiful image

ps , very interesting calls
Axel, Nice pose and head angle. I like the details and the water reflected in the feathers at the base of the duck. I'm hoping for a bit more light when I go back.
Beautiful elegant pose, great colors and excellent HA. Perfect IMO!!
Beautifull capture indeed Axel with spot on exposure and excellent pose and detail. The lighting and eye contact are lovely Fine capture Axel !
sweet pose,eye contact,light...details!
cant even think to see like this in INDIA :) those water diamonds on the back are giving such a 3 dimension feel to the image. master stroke i would say
Well done Axel. I love teh cocked head and catchlight in the eye. I've only seen this beautiful species once in failing evening light.
Axel...everything is spot on. Loved the pose and the details in the dark areas.
Axel,
I like the tail up alert looking pose. Good exposure on the whites. Lots of these guys out here on the left coast.
