Ring-necked Duck - female

This gal didn't offer much in the behavior front, but I was happy to capture her in these super smooth surrounds. on this sunny morning. It didn't take too much skill or effort, just a willingness to lie down on the edge of Stowe Lake and wait for her to paddle by. I hand't had much luck with this species this winter, so it was nice to grab a few end-of-season frames before the birds depart for the warmer months.
