Golden Eye

He is the "James Bond" of the birds.. although the mallards consider him to be a real underdog. This morning as I walked along the shore it looked as if the bird was patrolling - he was cruising back and forth checking me out as I was taking pics of him. I had a bag of cracked corn with me so I told him "come on lets go" ..and as I walked along the shore and kept glancing behind me: this Golden Eye was following me and had recruited a female mallard with him as well.
