p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Buffleheads and bonus gull...


I was able to closely sneak up on this pair on the Yukon River. Every time they'd dive I'd run a bit closer till I was finally able to get some decent pixels on them. Here is what I came back with. My favourite duck species.




1) The pair






2) Mr. Bufflehead






3) Mrs. Bufflehead






4) Tummy rub






5) Bonus Mew gull

Very nice look at them. So that is where my Buffleheads flew off to.

Nice captures. Buffleheads are one of my favorite ducks, too.

The second nales the face Geoff. The body could be a touch brighter. My next pick is the gull

Morris

Thanks Mike. Lots of birds are arriving in the north, saw my first yellow-rumped warbler and lesser yellowlegs today. Keep sending them my way!!

Very nice Geoff. Doing the "dive then run" technique is tough with one duck - it must be very hard with two. ~ Ron

Thanks Eric. I don't think I can compete with Morris for stalking skills. I'm just not patient enough.

Thanks Ron. They mostly dived together so it worked out okay.

This is interesting Geoff as I just stumbled across my first ever Buffleheads today. I was shocked at how quickly they bugged out as soon as I slowed down to even watch them. After that I was shocked at how fast they achieved top speed inches above the water. I might need to borrow some of your Ninja mojo to try and get a shot this week…
