Even when they are dozing, ducks seem to be keeping an eye on me, including a male Ring-necked Duck (Aythya collaris), a male Hooded Merganser (Lophodytes cucullatus), and a male Ruddy Duck, all of which I spotted this past week floating on a local pond.

That bottom photo has a bit of a psychedelic look to it, Mike.
Beautiful.
Very interesting “observations.” And the last image, is awesome for it’s dominate color coordination. Nice! M 🙂
Each image stands on its own. Tying them together like this…really good.
I adore the middle photo. The b&w, the strong lines, the reflection, and the contrast of that glowing golden eye – wow, wow, WOW!!
These are great! They really do seem to be keeping an eye on you, a potential predator. Smart drakes!
