Description
This Mandarin Duck was preening at the edge of Susan Lake, Montreat, North Carolina, on May 2, 2012. This is a wild duck; members of this species migrate through this area occasionally.
This image took first place in these FAA contests:
Beauty in Art - Logo Contest 4, which ended May 8, 2017
Portrait of a Bird, which ended March 25, 2018
Colors of Birds, which ended sometime in 2018
(500 Views Contest), ended on March 2, 2021: apparently scrapped because of the peculiar title and rerun with the right one.
This image was tied for second place in the Colorful Birds contest, which ended 10/29/20.
