* I shot this photo directly into the sun's glare, but I am assuming this bird 
is a male Nothern Shoveler in breeding plumage? If so, there were at least a 
half dozen of these birds in the inner harbor at Lakeshore State Park, with at 
least one male in breeding plumage. This would also be the first photo of a 
male that I have ever taken:

* Gotta love this photo, as it shows where the name "Goldeneye" comes from. :-)

* Red-breasted Merganser trio in Milwaukee's Discovery World harbor. I like how 
the water is kinda the color of liquid mercury:
