I stopped by Summit Lake this evening to check out the waterfowl, no big
surprises.  I thought I had seen black ducks before, but I saw one of the
darkest black ducks I have ever seen on the west side of the lake hanging
out with some mallards.  Any insight into just how dark a black duck can
get?  I got a couple of (not spectacular) photos and posted one at my flickr
account if you would like to compare.  It's a little grainy, but you can see
some mallards in the foreground for a color comparison.  Maybe the setting
sun and the freshly preened feathers, or maybe just one dark duck.
