In yesterday’s post, the American Black Duck was an element of the photo, today he’s the star. I did a black and white version as well.

The b/w version shows the light and dark contrast more. Both nice pics.

I imagine most of the ducks are seeking warmer climes right now. Wish we could fly south, too!

They can blend in with mallards though they’re larger, darker and quieter 😊. They’re found in Michigan too.

Ah, my home state, I must have seen one in the past but never gave it any thought.

Jealous as I am still trying to track one of those down this year!

We see more of them now than earlier in the summer. If you’re in the Midwest they should be heading back soon.
