Unusual Encounter
Last weeek, I came across the waterfowl, resting on a log with its head tucked in sleeping. I was only 10 feet away but it didn't respond to my presence. After firing awat for five minutes, I started talking to my friend. It finally lifted its head , revealing two very cloudy eyes. It turned its head and looked directly at me but din't react.Based on this, I belive it was both almost blind and almost deaf. I left it where is was as I was sure a capture attempt woul leave me wet and the bird still free. Can you guess waht species it was?

I 've been looking at images by Sandra Bartocha for inspiration. This image while not like her's, is a non-traditional capture.
