Another winter migrant that I photographed while kayaking was this Bufflehead. Tough to get really sharp images in a kayak with a 100-400 zoom. No tripod, I am sitting with my legs in front of me, the kayak is rocking and drifting at the same time. Also I was afraid to take my new camera out and took and older model that I had. I suppose with enough practice I could adapt.

This one is quite handsome, too. I love the multi-colored head. Good job getting this fine shot, Garrett.

You got a really great shot in a difficult situation! Striking colors on the bird and you even caught his personality! Good capture!

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.

What amazing little duck this is the head looks so large and the markings are stunning and the colours are stunning and you did a great job capturing the detail in this bird seeing you was bobbing around in your sky sky and what a great life you live too.Plus your presentation is one hundred percent with this capture too.

Wonderful shot under the circumstances.

Long before the white man and long before the wheel, when the dark green forests were too silent to be real. Light foot 1967
