His Royal Blue Highness (Anas platyrhynchos)

I should really be posting Dippers today. They're our national bird, and today is Norway's Constitution Day. But I don't have any Dipper shots on hand, so I'll post three other hardy species that stick with us year 'round. This guy, iridescing royal blue, can also represent our being a kingdom (after a fashion).
