Thanks Murmur, I made at least eight trips to the Lagoon before getting less than two minutes of perfect conditions. He was so beautiful, I snapped a couple dozen pictures. All in less than two minutes and he went back to napping.

I took this picture about 45 minutes before the one above, this afternoon. This was taken at West Chester Lagoon, Anchorage, AK. This larger body of water still has a lot of ice cubes floating around. Until about noon today there was a thin crust of ice here. A Barrow's Goldeneye. He is back lighted and lacks detail of the above picture.
