A Great Blue Heron stands on the right side of the image, facing right. Its reflection transitions from clear to indistinct as it extends toward the bottom of the frame. In the background on the left, three American Black Ducks are busy finding food in the muddy bottom of the marsh.

Hard-working American Black Ducks decorate the background at Boyd's Lane Marsh where a Great Blue Heron thinks it rules the roost.
