Snoozing duck

Snoozing duck

Tim got a very long-distance shot of this male bufflehead at Constitution Gardens. Thanks to Pierre Martin for the ID; I've never seen one before in the lake there.

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by PBase are decidedly
unsharp.

Snoozing - like me in the bath. But what glorious colour and pattern in the water!

A fine shot of this small duck. I don't recall ever seeing one in my home area.

He's slow to get up north for the breeding season. Nice that you got to see one and get a photo too.
