Drifting Off to Sleep
Uploaded: March 11, 2016 | Entered: March 11, 2016 19:52:01
3rd in a 4 photo series of a male Gadwall duck swimming under a canopy of thick brush along the side of the pond so that he could sleep peacefully without worrying about the eagles. It was very dark under the overhang but the sunlight was reflecting off the water and lighting him up as if he were in a spotlight. In this photo the Gadwall is just starting to go to sleep. His eyes are heavy and partially closed.

Unavailable EXIF: If there is no other information but 'Unavailable' in the EXIF (meaning no EXIF data exists with the photo), the 'Unavailable' blurb is not displayed. If there is any info, it shows. Many photos have the EXIF stripped out when people modify the image and resave it, before uploading.
