100%. Though I did see four buffleheads on the sandpiper-infested retention pond I visited.

We have a million of those little suckers here in Arkansas too, my wife has the nice camera but here's a few we've gotten!

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

Wow!!! I've seen many buffleheads but I never knew!!!!

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.

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 🪶
