I took this photo because I liked the reflection pattern in the water and the fact that there were some ducks in the photo as well. I thought they were lesser scaup, but their markings are slightly different. It turns out they're ring-necked ducks. (The female is camouflaged in the tree stump reflection). This photo was taken at the beaver pond at McLane Creek. The huge tree stump in the water is left over from logging done here over a century ago.
