Yes it is, Gil. I took that one in AR several years ago. AFAIK I have never seen one here in GA in my lifetime. Yet, my Grandaddy drifted the Savannah River for ducks in the 20s, 30s and 40s and told me of seeing many, many black ducks.

Blacks are special to me. They represent something that I cannot quite put a finger on. A time past. Kinda like the special place the few coveys of wild bobs here hold. I think I just identify with them, in a way. I feel like an artifact myself, but I'm okay with it.

May God bless America and those who defend her.
