Bufflehead Drake Displaying, Fort Worth, Texas, USA

By Jerry Austin

There is a small urban lake close to my house that has many species of waterfowl this time of year. One of my favorites is the Bufflehead. These guys are very shy and are difficult to approach. However, I have learned their habits over the years and am now pretty skilled at getting close. Taken with a Canon R5 and a Canon 200-400 f4 L IS lens.
