Plenty of people out to see this Duck today, bird generally unphased. I struggled with the sun & distance but here are some pics, hopefully someone gets some better ones (& please post them - the color contrasts on this bird are stunning.) These were taken on the opposite side of the pond, another path leads down from the main one.

The bird was observed in the exact location posted and was sitting on a log in the water between 9 and 10 am when I was there, and still present when I left. Thanks to Jim and Jean for the great find and getting the news out! Conny Brunell Richfield, Hennepin Co. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
