Bufflehead (male) (Bucephala albeola)

Taken at the Martin Luther King Jr. Regional Shoreline at about 20m.

I am still trying to get good photos of a Bufflehead. Caught this "duckbutt" shot while experimenting with higher shutter speeds on my camera. He was bathing, frantic flapping, and generally tough to photograph. But at least he wasn't underwater. :)

LOL... I love it thought Calvin.... a great action capture.

It's not often we get good views of the back and open wings of ducks.

You'll get the image you want though one day.

A very well focused behavioural shot, Calvin, with plenty of action going on.
