EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, a mallard drake (Anas platyrhynchos) is seen gracefully drying its wings at Nisqually National Wildlife Refuge in the beautiful state of Washington, USA. The serene and picturesque setting of the refuge is reflected in the still waters, creating a mirror-like effect that adds to the tranquility of the scene. The mallard drake, with its vibrant green head and chest, contrasts beautifully with the muted tones of the surrounding marshland. The drake's wings, spread out to their full extent, are dotted with droplets of water, glistening in the sunlight. The drake is in the process of preening itself, an essential activity for maintaining the health and condition of its feathers. Nisqually National Wildlife Refuge is an important habitat for various species of waterfowl, including mallards, and provides a sanctuary for them to breed, feed, and rest. The refuge is located in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States and is home to a diverse range of wildlife, including bald eagles, otters, and beavers. This photograph by Ken Archer, captured through Danita Delimont's RF collection, offers a glimpse into the natural beauty and abundance of Nisqually National Wildlife Refuge and the mallard drake's peaceful existence in its pristine waters. The image is a testament to the importance of preserving and protecting such vital habitats for the survival and well-being of various species of waterfowl and other wildlife.
