I’ve only seen this handsome, copper-headed duck once before, years ago – being in Montana didn’t help on that front – and from all accounts this bird was showing well. And, even as the ducks brighten their plumage and the Black-capped Chickadees test out their spring songs, it’s still so cold.

Help is appreciated.
