Duck, Duck, Goose!

I always love how diving ducks use their tail feathers as a paddle to power them on the lift right before diving. Always amazed that the surface tension hold with this much pressure applied. This isn't the sharpest due to shooting in low light and having to slow a shutter speed at 1/400.

Hard to find a prettier duck in North America than a male Wood duck.
