Barrow's Goldeneye making a Spectacular dive - February 19, 2018

Getting ready to dive 
Almost completely out of the water
Look at those legs in the air 
Finishing the Dive
As you look at the sequence above, it may not strike you as impressive. This duck is able to launch itself from the water by thrusting its neck forward and pressing down hard on its tail. Most ducks arc over the water, but never rise completely above it. This duck was able to clear the water repeatedly. Most impressive.
