Description
A beautiful Long-tailed Duck in mid-afternoon light on a small lake reflecting the golden tones of a flowering tree in the background. This duck was photographed in early April 2019 in Northern Virginia, outside its typical range. As a sea duck, it's a bit of a rarity in this area, so it attracted many spectators, but didn't seem at all bothered by the attention.

Thank you very much, William. I really appreciate it. I was fortunate and very pleased to stumble across this duck. I spent hours watching and photographing it, knowing I may not have another chance.
