Here’s another Bufflehead (Bucephala albeola) taken at the extreme west end of the north shore of Lake Ontario. Hopefully his arrival is a sign of good things to come this winter. I’ve also seen a few Goldeneye, a close relative of the Bufflehead. So far, though, no scaup.
I’m still waiting for delivery of a Gimbal head and new tripod so am taking all my photos handheld—a challenge when the lens and camera combination weighs over eight pounds.
