Pair of resting ruddy duck males on Virginia Lake, Reno, Nevada during the winter



This pair of non-breeding ruddy duck males was resting in a similar position on Virginia Lake, in Reno, Nevada. Rick was here after a storm had gone through in December, 2015 and most of the lake was frozen. Most of the ducks and geese rested on the water, but groups of geese were standing on the edge of the ice. When Rick approached the lake to take pictures, several mallard ducks came closer expecting to be fed, but moved quickly away when someone came by walking their dog.

Remember, it's not just a picture, it's a story!
