Juvenile Male and Female Long-tailed Ducks (Clangula hyemalis) - Bowser, BC

Definitely one of my favourite ducks! This male and two females swam fairly close to shore and I was able to snap this pic in one of the most beautiful places in British Columbia.

 

Long-tailed Ducks are the deepest diving ducks in the world. As I watched them dive I noticed they would quack to each other before each dive.

 

There were many Sea Lions, Harlequins, Surf Scoters, Goldeneyes and Horned and Red-necked Grebes and 2 Nelson's Gulls around as well in this beautiful spot.
