I took advantage today of the light and the fact that I had both species of Goldeneye to choose from at my local bay.
Not the easiest of birds to get right--but this is coming the closest of what I have right now.

Beautiful work Bonnie !!! Love the fact that you were able to capture both in wonderful lighting and with a great head turn and expression. Well framed with excellent exposure. too. Many thanks for sharing this lovely capture Bonnie.
Hey Bonnie, Very well done. Wish for just a bit more room below the reflection (but I know how hard that is when working with the 2X). Later and love, artie
