I know we have more of the even weirder red-breasted mergansers (whose courtship display is adorkable) but the long-tailed really are the iconic sight and sound of winter in the waters around Toronto. Buffleheads come back sooner and I love them too... but long-tailed won my heart first.

Seeking underwater/diving shots of long-tailed ducks, though similar species will also work (goldeneyes, buffleheads...) - photos or illustrations welcome.
It's for my last migration tattoo. I've red-winged blackbird as our iconic sign of spring, chimney swifts for summer, turkey vultures fall...

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #ItsAllWhite, the bird's main color is white.

I didn't see any buffleheads this year, but I did see them the year before. Hopefully, this year, I will see them again.

Buffleheads and catastrophic global warming are the only things that make the winters here bearable

Oh blurry pictures of things flying I do have Also of annoying diving ducks showing up in the wrong place briefly.

Whomever decided to have a day to honour the buffleheads should have had them sign a behavioural contract. Although there return was a significant point in restoring the Gorge.

The Hautman brothers have fascinated me since first hearing about them in Fargo thirty years ago. The offhand joke about them being the defacto winners of the duck stamp contest gets funnier every time one of them wins.

#duckstamps #ekphrasticpoetry #poetry
after James Hautman Perennial stamp staples; the three Hautmans draw from an expansive stable of waterfowl like the buffleheads shown here. Their work has appeared on sixteen duck stamps to date for winning as many competitions. The Hautman’s independent wins number at seven, six and three for Jim, Joseph and Rob respectively. Treasured for his compositions, Jim’s ducks soar above the rest. He won one more stamp painting contest than his brother so naturally his duck work is deemed as best. Dawn Ultra’s opposite, Jim lathers oil paints on a duck’s back in place of dabbing it clean. Here’s a comfortable spot for the eye to land, the slightest strand gleaned through the reeds of the slightest season, a good enough reason as any to wet one’s beak, to raise one’s brush, to bleed for a minute down in the rush before taking off towards beguiling ponds and pools where, eventually, a man’s keel can even out, where he might even uncover a subject worth writing home about.

A group of female Buffleheads on the estuary in Campbell River, BC. They are always hard to photograph because they are so tiny and so dark 🪶

Alright I'm off for the night, leaving you with these bufflehead diving shots I'm ESTATIC about!

Captured Friday morning 8 minutes before the SCOTUS news dropped. 2 frames apart. 🪶
a buffleheads head going into the water, you cant really see the color differences, but the water looked like a painting, and the reflection is super cool a buttlehead tail cascading water like a waterfall, lit up by the sun which just rose about 20 minutes ago
