Marionville- This is the northern subspecies, one of our overwintering birds (yellow above the eyes). The migrant Prairie subspecies (white above the eyes) has arrived but I haven't seen one yet.

Winchester - this shows the feather detail well. It is quite an attractive bird that we seldom see closer than a hundred feet or more and usually not for very long.

Winchester - this is almost full frame. I waited quite some time for this type of shot. Today I got it.

Winchester - I have never been closer to these birds. A flock of 6 were busy foraging on corn stubble near a roadside. They weren't bothered by the car although some took note of the shutter clicks.

Amherst Island - and finally, one in the air. The ice was thick and filled in the channel as soon as we passed. Ducks are being restricted to remaining open water on the Great Lakes. Only Lake Ontario still has substantial water but the eastern end is frozen in.

Amherst Island - a very striking quartet of males. These birds were stunning up close.

Amherst Island - normally a very wary species, several Goldeneye threw caution to the wind and approached quite close to the island ferry
