20140223 217 SERIES - Common Goldeneye.jpg

Ottawa West

Two wing-flapping images of a male Common Goldeneye.Note, there is a bald spot on top of his forehead, above the beak. I saw a female with a similar bald spot recently. Perhaps it is just their way of molting.

Top Image: Wings in/down.

Wings out/up.

Nikon D800 ,Nikkor 500mm f/4D IF-ED AF-S II
1/1250s f/8.0 at 500.0mm iso400 full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto
