213 - Orange

This guy was looking for crumbs, I suspect, as he kept coming closer and closer to me. I was amazed at how bright an orange his feet and legs were! I always thought the green head and brown/grey body were beautiful. I had never noticed those legs before, though. Wonder how I could have missed that!

  3. I think they use these ducks to squash the Grapes and Oranges when they make Cointreau liqueur. I think they like them cause the webbing dies a better job on the squashing that virgins toes in Spain.

  5. Great picture of a cool duck. We don't get these out west so I have never really noticed orange feet. He (and you) were pretty brave getting that close to each other.

  6. Neat photo! Maybe you've never noticed his feet before because he spends most of his time in the water!
