Female and male bufflehead ducks
This appears to have been my lucky week for seeing bufflehead ducks. Last Saturday I showed you a female HERE and today I have both males and a female.
Suddenly I realize that bufflehead males have green on their faces. Until now I'd thought they were simply black and white!
I wonder what she said to make him leave
OK, truth be told this is a different male from the one above.
Up, up and away!
This is the same male as in photo #2 but a couple of seconds later.

Aren't birds marvelous creatures? These waterfowl are particularly appealing!
i love the butt shot second up from the bottom and i like the female head better than the male, love that black head. that water looks rough enough to make them sea sick
They are so pretty. I love the take off shots!
Awesome shots but what did you link up to. I don't see a new linky. Mine are here... http://tickleberrymoon.blogspot.com/

Cool action shots! Cool name too.
Awesome shots of the Buffleheads. The males are handsome. Have a great weekend!
Obviously, the Buffleheads like you! Lovely shots. Happy Critter Day!

If I Could Talk to the Animals
Wonderful last shot!
love the 'fly bye' shots! :)
Hello, EG. I'm also a big fan of these little ducks. They winter here in Astoria, Oregon, just outside my back door. You captured them nicely. Isn't that an amazing tail in flight?
Wow! Never seen them in flight.
Cute little guys!
I'm so shallow: the first thing I thought when I saw the green on the male duck was,"I want a purse in that colour"
Very pretty birds.
So cute... and wonderful indeed!

Beautiful ducks!
Brilliant Buffleheads - wish we had them in the UK.
You captured them brilliantly! Beautiful!
Your caption cracked me up, wondering what made him leave! Ha ha, great pic and a great attitude to go with it.
Wonderful photos!
Great action shots of theses guys!

Awesome captures!
Fur Baby for camera critters. Looking forward to your visit.
We're the lucky ones because we get to enjoy your wonderful pictures. The last picture, especially, is marvelous.
I just love Buffleheads. There have been so mnay this winter in the harbor at Barcelona on Lake Erie. Each time we go, they are still there. I don't remember them being there so long, and mixed in with 100's of Mergansers.
Nice shots EG.

i've never heard of these ducks before but they sure are cute!
Those bufflehead males are so good-looking. So that's probably where he went...to see if there were any good-looking bufflehead females in the neighborhood.
I love the Buffleheads. They visit my pond occasionally. MB
Yes, I can see the green spot on the head. Fun and beautiful pictures! "Love is in the air...* sooooon..!
Love the last two shots.
The first shot of that male flying is just amazing!
Gorgeous shots of beautiful ducks.
I'm glad he didn't leave her :O)
great captures!
i especially love the last one.
hope you're having a great weekend!
How interesting...I have never seen this breed before. They are quite handsome!
Lovely pics of the bufflehead couple, and great action shots, too!
I am jealous that you got one in flight!!
How cool that you got it in flight! Super!
Sweet shots of the male in flight.
I'm not sure if we have Bufflehead ducks in our area but they are sure pretty. I like the emerald green on the male's head. Wonderful captures of him in flight. That water looks icy cold where he has it stirred up.
I have a Camera Critters post on my Drive-By Photos blog if you're out visiting.
