Was going to ask you Rick if you got to hear the call of the male musk duck ( very distinctive), but by the look of the display he is giving I think you just might have. Lovely birds , I have only ever seen one ALMOST all the way out of water. I dont think it is a common practice for it to venture out of the water or even fly . I am glad you got to photograph one , thanks for sharing.
Quite a unique-looking duck. Love the tail-action.
In the first photograph it looks like it has been in an oil slick!

Great photos Rick.
That is a amazing tail on an amazing duck.
