This male was an uncommon visitor to the Ottawa River for a few days, and he attracted quite a crowd when he came close to shore. I was lucky to head down to the water late in the day and he was moving around, feeding and mingling with the resident Mallards. This species is as striking a duck as one can see around here, and for the short time he was here he gave lots of people lots of great looks.
This bird came so close to a couple of ice prone on the shoreline ice that I had to dial back the lens considerably.
