Her head is quite spectacular, although her plumage is plain. I'll upload her male partner next time. Click here for more information on this duck.

See her mate here.

That is quite the hairdo Phlossie. The clarity is fantastic in this shot. It belongs in the AC.
I look forward to seeing the male and if he has a buzz cut.

Plossie this is the most beautiful duck I have ever seen. A very well composed shot my friend. I love his mohawk hairdo.

What an unusual duck! You captured her auburn head beautifully. Great clarity.
Mark Twain said, and I always agreed, that "When red-haired people are above a certain social grade their hair is auburn."
I guess it applied to duckies as well :)

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust

Nice hair-do. I bet she has to use a lot of hair spray to get it to stay like that! Excellent shot, Phil.
