Bufflehead Kerfluffle

 Bufflehead males last Wednesday

Most of the year buffleheads seem pretty laid back...but not now. It's mating season!

Get outta here!

I am linking to Saturday Critters HERE.

I have to admit: I had to look up kerfluffle for the meaning. Not a word in my vocabulary, but I'm sure it will be now. Very aptly captioned!

Mating season is crazy! Luckily my geese have calmed down some.

They are chasing one another, aren't they? Mostly it's robins and grackles and red-winged around here! Lovely shot!
