Stretch 220523 -07
The younger (I think) of two Northern Shoveler (Anas clypeata) drakes who visited Teal Pond, Thomson Marsh, Kelowna, BC. this day. His head / neck posture was consistently more erect than his companion's.
The appearance of the pond varies greatly in different parts with different lighting. If I weren't trying to illustrate that, there would likely be only two shots of Stretch here, not four.... I leave it to viewers to figure out why....
