On Golden Pond.

[Douglas Sherman]

My favorite duck. I can hear the music playing in my head although this should probably be a Loon.

Either a wood duck or a harlequin. I assume the music you are thinking of is Claire d' Lune. Although that refers to the moon I think.

Anyway, this is a lovely image and also one of my favorite ducks.

Wow Doug!!! This is beyond awesome! Love the crisp colors in this. It really shines, no wonder it’s a favorite.

I love these guys but don't to see them very often. Great shot of their color show.

You are right, Ben, this is a Wood Duck. The music is "On Golden Pond" from the movie of the same name.

Thank you, Alan. we used to have a pond nearby where there were about forty of them. They also fed them so that they were habituated to humans. It was like shooting fish in a barrel. They have all gone away now because of the invasion of a couple of River Otters

Thank you, Monika. It doesn't hurt that this duck is one of the most beautiful of the species.
