A BEAUTIFUL MOMENT

For a couple of days, I was fortunate to have seen this river duck, a common goldeneye. I was pretty enthused to see it as this was a first for me. The 2 days I had seen it, it was in the same location within the park along Eakin Creek West which connects to the South Fork Kishwaukee River where it was alone. I was walking along the trail when I noticed it before the goldeneye took to flight. I later seen it swimming the South Fork Kishwaukee River near Wildflower Lake. (533-46)
