The Mandarin was almost certainly an unwise release, likely by someone that received it as a wedding gift. He attached right off to some bachelor Wood Ducks, though; so had some friends out there, at least.

Very nice shots in this series, Edward! Great photography.

Thank you, I appreciate the compliment!!

The only stupid question is the one that goes unasked - Photographers shoot to thrill, not to kill

These are two nice captures, Eric. I especially like the mandarin duck, which to me, is the most beautiful of all the waterfowl species.

What a wonderful photo!

Any time you can get a duck on ice like that, it is a special opportunity.
