Common Goldeneye
A bit of a story here. Sometimes I go to the pond before sunrise to look for otters and mink. The tally for the winter so far is one otter sighting, one mink sighting, and zero photos to show for it. In past years when the mammals don't show, there have almost always been ducks to enjoy once the light gets good. Not so this year when the pond has sadly been duckless most of the time. That is until this lovely Goldeneye hen showed up. I was hoping she would stick around for the good light and she did. This is actually my first ever photo of a female persuasion Common Goldeneye.
