The male ruddy ducks were bubbling for the females when we went to the interior. Fun to watch.

The ruddy ducks never seemed to come as close up in the alpine. Here the duck flaps during a preening session out on a mountain pond.

I was just going through my images from our summer visit to the interior of BC and came across another nice image of a ruddy duck. This image taken at Python Lake or "Pine View Marsh" as it has been re-named, right in the western suburbs of Kamloops.

Couldn't help thinking that this ruddy duck along with its reflection looked like some sort of exotic fish.
