This is a Redhead duck that I photographed in Nevada at a pond in the Henderson Bird Viewing Preserve. This a special place in the midst of the desert where you can see birds that congregate for the open water. This time I did not see any new species but got nice views of a few that I have rarely seen. This one I have seen more often but usually in the duller summer or winter plumage. Here we have the bright breeding colors. Note the bright yellow eye that almost appears painted on.
