We get these critters in my backyard pond once in a while -- very pretty birds. Very active, too, compared to other ducks; these guys eat fish and go after them like Anhingas.

Very shy, too. As soon as they know they're being watched, they usually take wing.

I’ve spent decades learning to look like a tree stump, they never even notice me, LOL.
