The blue and gray colors of this male Ring-necked duck (Aythya collaris) seemed to be a perfect match for the cool tones of the icy waters of the suburban pond where I spotted him earlier this week. All of those cool colors also really make the warm yellow of his eyes stand out.

Very nice, I also think he looks like he is thinking about how COLD the water is. His face looks so serious. LOL! I think its those yellow eyes!
Nice Mike! He does look very serious!
The water makes a nice textured background around him. Love that bill!
He’s got a really funny expression on his face!
