There is a heck of a lot of beauty in a Bufflehead....Ifen you really look
at an alternate drake Blue-winged Teal or a Gadwall closely, they are just
simply absolute stunning works of nature's art. And OMG the Hooded
Mergansers! Don't be hurried by birds and always in a rush for another
if you have the time otherwise. There is a lot to be enjoyed in just the
common local stuff. One of my favorites is a high end Brewer's Blackbird
and the winter Common Grackle...just gorgeous things in fresh plumage...
Glad you posted as I know you appreciated what you did see.
