Resting Ducks in Shallow Wetland Waters

Resting Ducks in Shallow Wetland Waters

Sunday, April 26th, 2026 at 11:11:06 PM · 2026/Yolo Bypass Wetlands

This wildlife photograph captures two ducks floating in shallow, calm wetland waters. The foreground duck appears to be a male with darker plumage and orange feet visible at the water's surface, while a lighter-colored female duck rests behind. The scene is characterized by sparse reeds protruding from the water and patches of aquatic vegetation scattered across the surface. The lighting suggests midday conditions, creating subtle reflections on the water's surface. The shallow depth of field, achieved with a telephoto lens, keeps the ducks in focus while softly blurring the background elements.
