20230409-_DSC5589 - Bufflehead Ducks

            As breeding season approaches one of the most active species is the Bufflehead. The drakes compete very aggressively for the hens chasing and attacking each other with vigor. This pair of drakes chased each other across the water several times and then took the battle to the air, came back and landed on the water and continued for several minutes. They seem to possess tons of energy.
