I'm not sure how, but this pair of Buffleheads knew the exact moment when I had composed my shot, adjusted exposure and was ready focus. Gone! I had a really fun photo shoot at Ashbridges yesterday with this pair.

I did manage to get a few photos of the female, who seemed ok with my presence. All seemed tranquil on the surface but every few minutes she would suddenly run across the water. The male would "coincidentally" surface at the exact spot where she had been swimming.

I thought a giant Bufflehead had landed in the water next to me because of all the splashing. Instead, it was a dog who ruined my Bufflehead shoot and he had no choice but to pose for me.
I'm pleased to read that this post has no mention of 'Cooties'. The beauty and bond of Buffleheads are a bonanza!
ReplyDeleteThat dog is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteBuffleheads are such beautiful ducks, and I like the shot you got of the female with the water trails behind her. Cute dog too!
