Buffleheads are another sort of duck that I can see now with my new zoom lens. These migrants visit us in winter.
Here’s a female.
The male is more striking but I wasn’t able to get as good a shot as I’d have liked.

They are pretty!
Never heard of the bufflehead ducks but I do like the name. They sure are cute, the female seems a lot smaller almost toy like. 🙂
They are great looking birds!
Kay,
The male bufflehead is a strikingly beautiful bird. If you can see one in the sunshine the dark areas on the head have some amazing irridescent highlights. Purples, greens, deep indigos, a rainbow of colors. Keep looking at them through your zoom, you will be very pleased. Merry Christmas to you!
