I spent most of the morning watching a couple of pairs of Common Goldeneye 
ducks defending feeding territory.  I'll have several photos online 
eventually but here are a couple that made the sore frozen butt worthwhile:

In both cases the males had just concluded an underwater battle over feeding 
'turf' and the loser was making a hasty departure.

technical stuff: R8/DMR, 560mm f/6.8 Telyt, shoulder stock & monopod, slight 
crop.  All comments welcome.
