This week’s Photo Challenge is Reflections.
The mirror doesn’t always reflect faithfully…
Two other “Reflections” posts are here and here.

Lovely photos of reflection, and a very unusual, but colorful duck or goose.

Not sure whether it was a duck or a goose, or some other exotic waterfowl… it was in the Zoo here, so definitely not a common local bird…

Really striking!

Not sure what type unfortunately—didn’t make a note of it. It was in the Zoo, so some exotic import…

Great photos… and yes all reflections are distortions to some degree!

I find the duck to look very self-possessed, even more so in his reflection.

Neither have I, in the wild. It was some exotic import in the Zoo…

That’s not a reflection: It’s a big upside down duck stuck to the bottom of Johna’s boat looking at her.
LikeLike
I never noticed that before… the duck is much bigger, but Johna should win as there are three of her against the one duck…

The duck appears to be a Spectacled Eider, an adult male in breeding colors (Dec-June). It’s a medium-sized sea duck that’s found in Alaska and other cold places way up north. Did you see this in the Central Park Zoo?

Thanks so much for that identification, Beth!! Much appreciated. It does indeed appear to be a Spectacled Eider, based on the photos on Google. Yes, it was in the Central Park Zoo.
