This is the first time I've seen one of these birds. This was near ponds and lakes in a suburban neighborhood.

I think my son has some of those in his yard at times. They are neat looking birds. You got a good image of it. I like that orange eye.

Thanks, Mike

Yes, I think the eye of this bird is what "makes" the photo.
