Redhead

I baited this bird - with rocks! I was birding a local park when this guy paddled into view. I went back to the car, grabbed my rig and -- in the absence of bread -- tossed a few small pebbles into the lake to get his attention. He came right over and spent the next ten minutes floating in front of me, expected a handout. So yeah, this bird was clearly used to be fed, but I was still happy to get such a close view of his trademark head.
