Ahmad Shah: Terrific capture.
Brian Morin: This was both a surprise and a shocker. I was trying to get some shots of a more distant Ring-necked Duck when I spotted this Bufflehead diving very close to shore and only about 5-7 metres from the car. The problem was that weed stalks were in the way, partially obscuring the shot so I waited until the bird would dive them backed up just enough to give me a chance. I was able to get it between the weeds with enough room to perform a decent crop. I also had it in perfect light and distance. As you know, without sun, this bird's head is black.

Burlington - A beautiful little diver. It was facing just the right way to capture the iridescence on the head.

Chris: You’re exactly right. Interesting because normally birds facing slightly away are tough but in this case, it’s a huge success. What a cute duck.
BrianMorin: This one was tough but worth hanging in with the bird until everything was right. He's a little cutie for sure.

As luck would have it, the Bufflehead that was spending his time far out decided to very quickly swim almost to shore, presumably going after his lunch. English Bay, BC.

Burlington - The colourful iridescence only shows when the head is at the correct angle to the sun.

I cropped this family photo to show all the members. I think Mom is second from the back.

Erieau - To show off its colours the Bufflehead needs bright sunlight.
