Un huard à collier se repose sur un lac paisible, parmi les roseaux — sa tête verte irisée, son collier blanc audacieux et son dos tacheté de manière complexe se reflètent dans l'eau à peine ridée. Les reflets des roseaux créent des lignes verticales qui organisent la surface tranquille de la peinture. Cette aquarelle de 1988 est l'un des portraits d'oiseaux les plus sereins et les plus accomplis techniquement de Glen — le huard au repos, complètement détendu, le lac estival autour de lui totalement immobile.
Le huard est l'oiseau le plus emblématique du Canada, et Glen connaissait parfaitement ce sujet grâce à des décennies d'étés passés sur les lacs de l'Ontario. Le plumage pointillé est rendu avec la patience du pinceau fin qui distingue ses aquarelles d'oiseaux.
