pavoncella "Vanellus vanellus"

What a great day. This guy was the star for me, and I really wasn't expecting to see him or them. He was right in there with the Wood Ducks, in fact, likely a Wood Duck there in the background. I can say more DOF would have been preferred but they were all in and out of shade, mostly in, and moving constantly. In fact, this guy is sailing - the erect reddish-brown panels there are referred to as "sails". The Mandarin is an exotic non-native, but there are pockets of them in Southern California and they seem to show up in the Fall for our viewing pleasure.

From Wikipedia: The Mandarin "is closely related to the North American wood duck, the only other member of the genus Aix. 'Aix' is an Ancient Greek word which was used by Aristotle to refer to an unknown diving bird, and 'galericulata' is the Latin for a wig, derived from galerum, a cap or bonnet." In fact, the female Mandarin and female Wood Duck are super similar, hard to tell them apart.

Mes frères, ce n'est l'amour du prochain que je vous conseille ; je vous conseille l'amour du lointain.
