Both my other photographs of Goldeneyes have been landscape photos from a distance. Thus, I decided it was time to get up close and personal. Hope I did not disturb their morning slumber!

It’s a good thing this decision was made today, because the amount of open water is rapidly decreasing on Lake Superior. This group found a small section of liquid H2O. You can also see why these ducks are named “goldeneye”!
