[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I'm not up to speed on identification of duck species, but I assume that this is simply a female mallard, Anas platyrhynchos. The small tuft made me think it might be another species. With no open water, these birds are struggling to find food and shelter.

The quality here is great and under normal circumstance I would not have like the POV, but here I do. The shadow is a nice contrast as well.

Very well done and thanks for posting. Happy new year to you and your loved ones.
