The image captures a close-up view of a male Common Goldeneye duck perched on a dark, rough-textured log that occupies the lower portion of the frame. The duck is facing to the left, with its head turned slightly towards the viewer. Its most striking feature is its iridescent emerald green head, which gleams in the light, contrasting with the white patch just below its beak and its bright, alert yellow eye.
Emerald head, golden eye… and one perfect white cheek. ❤️ A Common Goldeneye glowing in the soft light at Lost Lagoon.
