Such sweet little ducks, and like most of the really handsome, very shy. The group of teal took to wing almost as soon as I spotted them. As did the ring-necks at another pond. The mallards and their mottled kin, however, were anything but shy and mugged for the camera. I'll share those rare photos another day.;-)

I'm taking part in a Christmas bird count on the 19th. You're making me want to get out there sooner. Great picture. Green-wingeds are one of my favorites.
I love your choice of words - a "gratuitous" duck. I'll be looking forward to the mallards.
There's a classic!
Lovely duck and great shot of the takeoff.
Now that is called being in exactly the right place at the right time with a quick finger on the shutter! Beautiful!
