 This tiny female Bufflehead is a real heart stealer! First one I have seen here!     fresh clam sushi .. shell and all!!!  Scaup (lesser I think?)  Goldeneye Duck (drake)  Hooded Merganser drake (front) Common Merganser (immature drake)  Todays weather was relatively clear and cold! Never got above zero on my thermometer , and shooting this afternoon in Sidney was hand chilling! :) Hope you enjoy my little parade of ducks .. Wigeon and Bufflehead! (Both species Winter here in good numbers!)   I am very grateful to Sandy for allowing me to decorate the walls & show 13 images in her wonderful Coffee Shop in Sidney for the past 2 weeks! Next up is Sandy's fine works of art.. I can hardly wait to see her latest creations!     Pintails and Wigeon circled overhead of the Swans ...
