A worldwide community photographing and learning about wildlife
Project Noah Nature School
Fulica americana
A black "duck" with red irises, a white bill tipped in black, and a little white in the tailfeather.
Marshes and lakes. This one's at a large suburban lake encircled by a running path. Boats and water-scooters frequent the lake. This day was drab and overcast making the water particularly rocky but there were few people.
The grey sky makes the water look grey, giving the photo a "black and white" feel that I love! I learned these aren't actually ducks, though they spend a lot of time on the water.
