    Eight types of Duck

    More from the trip. Is it just me or does everyone come home from a vacation with more photos to sort through than is sane?


    Bufflehead


    Northern Shoveller


    Lesser Scaup


    Mallard


    American Coot


    Northern Pintail


    Wood Duck Male


    Wood Duck Female


    Ok, I cheated. The coot isn't really a duck...
    ;)

    Re: Eight types of Duck

    Looks like it was a nice trip!

    It could be worse. You could come home from a vacation to send out couple hundred dollars of film to process...and then sort through those

    What's a Loupe for anyway?

    Thanks WesternGuy, if you are ever out in Vancouver try to get to the Reifel bird sanctuary. It is well worth visiting. Also, the trails at Boundary Bay in Tsawwassen are super spots for raptors.

    Yup, the bufflehead is a diving duck.

    Tons of bald eagles at Boundary Bay area. I once saw a tree with 15 bald eagles in it at the same time ! And the northern harrier hang out that area all year along.


    Nice series, Scott !!
