Nice pics this week. We missed the Goldeneye when it was here in Florida last month. I need to check the lists to see if it has been seen anywhere in Florida. Would love to add it to the list. 🙂

These are wonderful! I do love the first one with one bird gliding in the water with raised wings and the other standing fearlessly on the edge! 🙂 ❤

Thanks Deborah. I am intrigued that the birds perch at the edge like that, but I guess that’s the advantage of having wings.
