A male Falcated Duck, Mareca falcata, on the ice. What a complex, intricate, and flawlessly tasteful plumage adorns its entire body. Though a commonly seen species, it is a beautiful bird that brings joy each time I encounter it, prompting me to peer through my binoculars and let out an involuntary sigh.

氷上のヨシガモのオス。 その全身の羽毛の、なんと複雑で細やかな、そして隙のないセンスに溢れた装いかな。 よく見られる種だけれど、出会うたびに喜んで双眼鏡を覗いて、思わずため息をついてしまう美しい鳥。
