One such place is Barnegat Light in New Jersey, USA, where a male Harlequin Duck stands proudly on a rock amidst the winter landscape. Its vibrant plumage contrasts beautifully with the snowy surroundings, making it truly stand out. In Iceland, during June 2011, another male Harlequin Duck gracefully swims through the water. The crystal-clear Icelandic waters provide an enchanting backdrop for this elegant creature to display its natural beauty. Perched on a mid-stream rock or resting alongside fellow drakes, these birds exude tranquility and gracefulness.

With its intricate markings and vivid colors showcased against the rugged terrain and fast-flowing river behind it creates an awe-inspiring portrait of nature's artistry.
