Love seeing the black, curled tail feathers of the Mallard male - females lack the curls. Always makes me shiver when I see birds lying in the snow or swimming in water amongst the ice on the river. Taken at Inglewood Bird Sanctuary on 4 March 2013. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mallard

"Just" a Mallard male but it shows his iridescent head, yellow bill, bright orange feet and the curled, black tail feathers. Photo taken in a local park in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
