Painted Duck

[Lensman]

This bird is a Mandarin Duck, and no it's not painted that's just what I called this picture.

Anyway - enjoy.

[Lensman]

Nope, don't think so.

EE Doc Smith was one of the great si-fi writers in the early 50's....& author of the 5 book, Lensman series.....

The colours are amazing...he's built for 'display', not camouflage.
