Excellent capture of this allopreening behavior, Ed!! I like how the fog on the water gives this a mysterious feel. I can see why it's a favorite.

This reminds me of an Oriental water colour painting, a lovely illustration of this behaviour with the fog adding so much to the overall mood!

Like the mist. I find myself wishing the other drake in the background wasn't part of this frame, though.
