Jerry Friedman Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 (edited) If I'd been a little quicker, I wouldn't have had to go after Big Oly. 🙂 There's a female Barrow's in there, by the way. This is why I don't have better pictures: Edited October 17, 2021 by Jerry Friedman 12 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clip Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 (edited) Behaving myself today and only posting one photo. This is a very common duck in Colorado in the winter and I saw and photograph a boat load of them. Including male, female, young, adult, leucistic and it is tempting to post Barrows Goldeneye also but... I like this one it seems to be doing a Chipmunk with stuffed cheeks impression.
