The Goldeneye duck I spotted earlier in the week while beachcombing inspired this little guy. I returned home to draw him and realized that I’d already designed a Common Goldeneye. So, I chose his cousin, Barrow’s Goldeneye, for a pattern. I carted him along on our adventures today to photograph in his natural habitat, only to drop him and have to fish him out of the cove. He survived his ordeal long enough to pose. Enjoy!
