Male and female harlequin ducks in breeding plumage, Prince William Sound. Canon 1D Mark IV, 500mm f/4L IS w/1.4x
The male harlequin duck is a distinctively marked, and colorful bird in its breeding plumage. We have seen hundreds of them on the voyage in Prince William Sound, although they are a bit wary from an approaching skiff. They seem to be a little less shy when they are in the interior rivers of Alaska for some reason.
