"Just WHO Are You Calling Common?"
Common Goldeneye (Male)
Caught this male Common Goldeneye in the middle of his grooming session. As feathers are probably his most valuable asset, it's no wonder so much time is spent on their maintenance.
I've never had an opportunity to catch one face on with both yellow eyes focused forward. And from that perspective, he certainly looks like a duck you wouldn't want to meet in the "back waters". Perhaps, we could come up with a better descriptive term for "common" as, well, it's so common.
