Usually, when I try to catch a picture of a bufflehead duck, I get a ripple of waves.
Or maybe a disappearing rump as it dives into the lake. (I do love the spray of water droplets, though.)
I got really lucky with this pair, though. They were swimming and diving close to shore and that gave me a chance to focus a little faster than I usually do.
They are such quick, active ducks that they're almost always underwater by the time I zero in on them.
Piper was a perfect little sweetheart, sitting patiently while I watched them dipping and diving, as I snapped picture after picture.
They were a delightful couple and I hope they weren't just passing through. It would be nice to see tiny bufflehead ducklings bobbing along with them.
There weren't very many good pictures, even after all that, but I was quite happy to get a few passable ones. :)
