Sitting Pretty

D80 Sigma 70-200 mm tripod
Captured at the CSH trout Hatchery. This Drake was busy eating the food intended for the inhabitants of the Native Long Island Fish Display. It finally had its fill and settled down for this shot.
I was surprised at how the bill appears shrunken to the face & the yellow of the bill has so much fadding in it.
Also that he appears to be grinning about having consumed all the free food...
