Ruddy Duck (I think) after grabbing a between dives drink from Bond Lake in Cary, North Carolina. The lake is reflecting the green of the grass bank behind the duck. Concentric ripples surround the duck, and water falls from its bill in two streams. The duck is mostly dark brown and white, the bill is black, they is black. The duck's reflection is visible in the water below it, albeit distorted by the ripples. The duck is in profile to the camera - the visible eye appears to be making eye contact with the photographer.
