Thanks for viewing/comments! He & his mate comes and goes ... some days they are

here, some days they are not. Got him yesterday in so so light but he's rare for SoCal

Looks like he's been partying and can't stand up straight ;-).  A very unique duck and an excellent shot... Mike

Thanks Mr. Mancil! Too funny .. he's a bit off balance because I shoot downward at an angle and then try to correct the horizon line  :-)
