Very cool capture ashley,he is a super cute ,i love the common name:-) Congrats and thanks for sharing
Yes but of course it had to be cloudy so he wasn't all shiny. I noticed him close to the bank, so as soon as he went under I ran over and was ready for him to come back up. I think I surprised him because he started swimming away very quickly as soon as he came up :)
Ashley, looks like you finally got to sneak up on a Bufflehead:-)
