Barrow's Goldeneye

Most of the waterfowl kept their distance last week where we were staying on Hood Canal, but I managed to sneak up on this lone Goldeneye. We saw lots of Common Goldeneye, Bufflehead, and Barrow's Goldeneye, all very striking in their crisp black and white garb, and often in large groups.

Great photos, Nan. Even your husband's! :) I like the very subtle colours and textures in this one. Very restful compared with the traditional flashy sunset.

Andra, thank you! I agree re the colors... most of my photos taken last week were very subtly colored, the colors of winter. Sometimes the sunset/sunrise will defy that, but not this time. Everything was pretty serene.
