i followed this little fella around lost lagoon in stanley park for awhile today. he kept diving on me, but i got this shot when it was time for a breath of fresh air. i like the simplicity of the image.
Doug, the bird in the picture is a Hooded Mergnaser, Lophodytes cucullatus, to be precise. Mergansers are fishing eating ducks, so technically it is a duck. It is very good picture of the merganser...Jack

Hey Doug,
Nice shot. dk
That is a different kind of duck than we are used to-you are right -this picture stands alone.cw
I'm not a chicken hawk I'm a schwab
Who said this famous line???
it was the little cartoon character (can't remember the name) that chased around Foghorn Leghorn.
This is an awesome shot... the duck, the water, the reflection.
speaking of schwab, i'm checking into this shot. bird c/b a grebe (which is a type of duck i believe). any 'duck' experts out there??
