Photo of the Day! Goldeneye in the Snow!

The scene is getting snowy around here and the ducks and water birds are making their way through to their wintering grounds. The migration is an opportunity to photograph water fowl that are normally spread out and hard to find. Most of them are skiddish though, and difficult to approach. They can make a challenging subject.
