Common Goldeneye -Thanks Lesley for the name. I took this shot downtown at the pier. The sun was going down and the reflection of the skyrises gave the water this look.

Lesley seems to be right on. I looked it up, and it's probably a female (or immature male) Common Goldeneye! GREAT SHOT, Mike! I just love the golden color of the water. Print and frame this one!

Oh Michael this is perfect, the golden colours are out of this world and the bird is made for this shot, it reminds me of that wonderful movie On Golden Pond even if the bird is not a loon.
