Super light on this super duck Chuck. I love tufted ducks and this really shows off the males tuft very nicely as well as the green in the head. Nice choppy water too.

Excellent. A great position to show off the tuft. It has been many years since I've sen one in person (both in AZ and NJ of all things).
