Description
A female mallard (Anas platyrhynchos) sought the sun, sitting on the end of a branch that was protruding from the water near the recessed bank of an island at Heron Haven Nature Center. This spring-fed wetlands sanctuary, tucked away in a corner of Omaha, Nebraska, is as popular with city residents as it is with waterfowl and other wildlife. On the northwest side of the lake, a small island is enjoyed by ducks and geese year round. The north side of that island is eaten away which accounts for the very deep shadow behind this hen. The centered composition in his image makes it perfect for any number of products from accent pillows to totes to cell phone covers as well as for wall art in a variety of sizes.
