We spotted this Bufflehead on one of the ponds at Garbry Big Woods Reserve. It has been a while since we last saw one of these.

This one is a male. I totally missed him but Teresa has a good eye. I blame my miss on his diving habits. He would dive and disappear from sight for long periods of time, then surface for a few minutes before repeating his hunt. Their behavior is well described on wikipedia .. check it out!!
