Female bufflehead duck
This sweet little duck was hidden amongst a flock of mallards and a gaggle of geese so I didn't see her at first. Being much smaller than the mallards and diving for her dinner, it finally dawned on me that she was different. Then when people loaded with chunks of bread arrived, all the geese and ducks quickly left the area to beg for handouts. Except this one, who looked in amazement at her friends' odd behaviour, then dove under for another tasty morsel.

A great sighting of this pretty female Bufflehead. Wonderful capture, have a great weekend!
this must mean buffleheads like fish more than bread. never seen of heard of one and I love the NAME
I haven't seen or heard of this kind of duck. This one sure is a beauty, and nice of her/him to pose so nicely. Great shot!
The lone bird with more sense than her cousins! You seem to know so much about birds; thanks for sharing both the information and the photos with us!
Great picture. The duck is cute and I love the colour of the water.Everything about this picture is perfect.
She really does have a sweetness about her. Lovely shot.
She's a cute one and I can't really say if I've ever seen this one before.
She is lovely! Smart, too. Go for the low carb diet! :D :D Happy Critter Day!
Oh! HOW beautiful she is!! :) I should go to see the birds one day too, by the water.. :)
A pretty little lass! Great colors in this photo. ;)
I guess it's true. Some things are what they're 'quacked' up to be.
glad to see this!
beautiful capture! and colours.
happy weekend!
a very cute little thing!
She is certainly bright eyed and bushy tailed!
That duck just wanted to go her own way!
Lovely pic!
A bathing beauty!
She was all alone? I wonder where her family went to... poor thing.
sweet is the first word that came to me as well. fun to read your story about what happened.
Great photo, love that twinkle of light in its eye.
Beautiful shot of the female!
She is adorable. I wonder where the rest of her family/friends were.
I like these ducks and the females are usually ignored (except by the males) by us photographers. Very nice.
Amazing...but of course, you know I love to view and take photos of birds.

Beautiful capture! What a sweet face that bird has.
what a sweet little duck she is too!
Oh she just toooo cute.
I've never heard of this type of duck before. She's very sweet.
This is a wonderful picture of the duck. Not only is the detail and coloring of the duck beautiful, but the wavelets in the water add a nice touch.
Bufflehead? Bufflehead? Who decides that this poor little duck should be a bufflehead duck? It is like naming your child Elmer.
She appears to be a very smart duck. And you called her a "bufflehead"! Sheesh!
And why do you assign her the female gender. Is it possible she's a male? Or something?
a cute duck indeed!
She’s so sweet and looks wise. I‘m impressed with not only the duck but also the ripples. Your blue color is always special to me.
She looks a bit coy. :)
Wow, how do you know one duck from another? I love this photo!
Hi there - nice little duck. Struggling with internet at present - arg!
Mts. in Victoria not really that big - but they are higher than the mts in England and Wales! Surprising amount of snow in winter each year.

She is a beautiful girl and apparently too refined to indulge in begging for handouts from humans. Or perhaps she was just enjoying the antics of the others from a distance.
