I presume this is a first year/juvenile individual. Adults have darker eyes as far as I know. Taken a couple weekends ago later in the morning. I was scouting for kingfisher perches when
I noticed this bird foraging along a lake shore. I sat on a wet log for 15-20 minutes while it made its way towards me. Full frame. I would have taken off my teleconverter off if I knew it was
going to swim by as close as it did. Can't say I particularly care for the leaf in the beak.
