The Goldeneye is one of my favorite waterfowl. Seen lots this winter but not close enough for a pic. They are rather skittish.
Mike, glad you like this! During the winter along the coast here, we get huge rafts of the Goldeneyes. It’s a sight to see, but generally quite a distance away!
I agree with Mike on both points. Skittish birds and great picture.
John, thanks very much! They are really fast fliers as well!
