R5II, RF600f4, 2x, 1/3200s, f/10, ISO 2500, manual

Photographed at the same lake where I found the Eurasian Wigeon, both species get along well. 

I did some reading on Eurasian Wigeons and learned that those rare visitors on the west coast of the U.S. come from eastern Russia, those on the east coast, get here from Iceland.

Love the two tone light, and nice soft water for this rarity. Thanks for the education too.

Great shot, I like the soft blue in the out-of-focus areas and the wonderful soft light.
