Thanks for looking and commenting to my previous posting
Love the direct, two-eyed stare. I am pretty sure that this is a male Tufted Duck.

Agree with Artie, the down the barrel stare is great, and especially effective because of those yellow eyes. Water drops a plus. Excellent shooting angle.
This duck looks surprised, did it pop up just in front of you? I love the water drops (especially the large one on the head) and the down-the-barrel stare.
