Description
On a welcome and unseasonably warm day in early February, this female mallard (Anas platyrhynchos) enjoyed swimming about with her mate and other friends in an area of open water at Heron Haven Nature Center in Omaha, Nebraska. The refuge is a spring-fed wetlands sanctuary enjoyed by wildlife and city residents alike. To help orient you in this photo, the hen is very near the steep, concave bank of a small island in this lake, the bank itself in deep shadow. The island is a favorite gathering and nesting place for ducks, geese, and other water fowl. A covered blind on the shore allows visitors to observe and photograph the birds without disturbing them.
