Thanks to all who take the time to view, comment on and favor my images. It is very much appreciated.

 

Black Scoters are usually seen in flocks, migrating in long lines or resting on the water. They dive for prey, mostly shellfish, in shallow water. Males begin courtship soon after settling into wintering areas. Their wings make whistling sounds and males frequent give whistled calls, which can be useful in locating these ducks.

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.
