Redhead duck

I have been going out and sitting lately at different areas of Las Vegas that have wildlife and wild birds. One of the best areas that I have found so far is Sunset Park near the Airport in the Las Vegas Valley. The park has all of the items one could want sports fields, nature trails and a man made pond. The pond is home to many types of birds.

I shot this beauty of a bird last weekend and was able to find out and identify it.

The only touch up I did to the photo was white balance and exposure.

Information on this beautiful bird was found here: http://www.birdforum.net/opus/Redhead
