A few days ago I posted the iron gate on the duck pond. Now I'm showing you the ducks. 😉 #scape #landscape #duckscape #photography #ducks #nature #CuyahogaFalls #Ohio

$A photo of a dusk standing in a stream on top of a partially submerged rock. The duck is seen from almost directly above, and has it's head turned sideways, at an odd angle, to view what I am doing above it. The water around the duck is clear and mildly turbulent, with refractions disturbing detail under the water. The stone the duck stands on is wet, shiny, and a brown color. The duck is a species called a "Harlequin Duck", which has very striking colors and patterns. It's breast color is only partly visible from this downward angle, and is a rich reddish brown. Below the breast and on the rock, is one of it's webbed feet. The duck's body is pointed toward the right. It's pin tail feathers are splayed out something like the fingers on a hand, and pointed slightly toward the bottom of the image. It's wings are folded over it's back, with prominent wing tip feathers, up to it's 'shoulder' area where a bold white band crosses each grey charcoal colored wing. The duck's head is tilted sideways to look directly upwards toward the photographer above, so that it is in profile, with the top of it's head toward the bottom of the photo. The base of it's neck is visible, with another striking white band around it's neck. It's head has three more striking white marks. A long one, like a long comma shape from the back of the neck, up toward the top of the head, and another very small one after that behind the eye. And the last one dropping from the front of the eye, down to the small bill. The rest of the head is a glossy black in contrast. The bill is a charcoal grey. There is a bit of white barely visible where it goes around the front of the breast toward the top of the duck's base neck. These striking markings lend to it's namesake of a harlequin jester in a costume of stark alternating patterns.$

I'm gonna call this #DuckScape 😆🦆
I had seen the striking Harlequin Ducks at the ocean before, but did not know they came inland to mountain streams to breed! Such as this fellow, giving me serious #sideeye!
