19th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Wood Duck

When the weather is good I walk from my house to Swan Lake which is nearby to see what birds might be there. On this particular morning I saw one duck that was different from the rest so I kept my eyes on it and my camera on the ready. Since there was ice on the lake the birds were more concentrated and I was able to photograph it.
