I filmed this one a few weeks ago in a captive situation at the Ripley Waterfowl Conservancy here in Litchfield, Connecticut. Although this colorful sea duck is known to frequent coastal waters of Connecticut in winter months, its normal range is much further north along the Arctic shores of North America, Europe and Asia. Nikon Z8 with Nikkor 500mm PF lens, 4K at 60fps.
I enjoyed my visit to Ripley’s last year very much! So nice to see you doing more video lately. I still haven’t figured it out with my Nikon Z 7ii.. Manuals are so boring to read so I guess I have to just try it.

Thanks Paul. Definitely a cool looking duck.
Hands down, the best-looking duck downtown! Amazing neck swivel…
Ha, no doubt Michael.

Thanks Rachel. Definitely going to be doing more video.
He was so cooperative, pirouetting for the camera, & showing off his amazing neck flexibility! And he’s spectacular!
Definitely. But again, he was a captive so nowhere really to go.
