Please start this bird anatomy series with post #403, March 10.
Recently, while attending an art exhibition in San Antonio, I had the pleasure of photographing and sketching along the city's famed Riverwalk. What a delightful "in the field" experience!

More about the duck's anatomy on the next post.
Below, is a sketch of a mallard taking off along the San Antonio Riverwal
