22nd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Water off a duck’s back

It was a sunny Sunday morning in August this year - we were strolling down Rowntree Park in York feeding the ducks and geese by the ponds. We had cooked barley – following a recipe provided by the park’s authority, and the meal proved to be very successful with the birds. Quite a few of them obliged, and I had the opportunity to capture some interesting moments of their lives and adventures that day.
