Northern Pintail
(Anas acuta)
 
 
 
This may be the best picture I got at Bosque. It was on the first morning. This pintail was swimming solo on a pond on the southeast corner of the auto loop. The angle of the light was ideal to light up his beautiful markings and make a great reflection.

Bosque del Apache, January 2002 .
