Greater Scaup
I made a trip to the coast for the Common Loons after work. Upon my arrival I was greeted with a thin blanket of fog that eclipsed the sun. The wind really started to pick up and there were the Loons. I waited and waited for the light to come through and left. I had one more spot I thought I'd check before throwing in the towel. I found a flock of Scaups preening on the shore and waters edge. I scaled down the rocks and waited patiently. All of the sudden the fog lifted and that beautiful light came through. I just needed the males to separate from the females and come closer. I settled with this shot even though it wasn't as close as one of the beautiful females I got that late evening. I'll try again as this will do for now.
