In good light, males have a glossy green head cut with white stripes, a chestnut breast and buffy sides. In low or harsh light, they'll look dark overall with paler sides. Females are gray-brown with white-speckled . In eclipse plumage (late summer), males lose their pale sides and bold stripes, but retain their bright eye and bill. Juveniles are very similar to females.

One of four Greater male Scaups pleasantly enjoying the golden light. I got seperation on this shot from the hens he was hiding behind. The tricky thing about these guys is getting the green to show on the head. He had turned just right allowing it to show it's brilliance.

"The dapper Spotted Sandpiper makes a great ambassador for the notoriously difficult-to-identify shorebirds. They occur all across North America, they are distinctive in both looks and actions, and they're handsome. They also have intriguing social lives in which females take the lead and males raise the young. With their richly spotted breeding plumage, teetering gait, stuttering wingbeats, and showy courtship dances, this bird is among the most notable and memorable shorebirds in North America... Female Spotted Sandpipers sometimes practice an unusual breeding strategy called polyandry, where a female mates with up to four males, each of which then cares for a clutch of eggs. One female in Minnesota laid five clutches for three males in a month and a half. This odd arrangement does not happen everywhere and often they are monogamous, with the female pitching in to help a little."

Wearing a dark jacket and a crisp white shirt, black phoebes tend to perch low and make short fluttering sorties to catch flying insects. Dapper little birds, in my opinion.

This handsome duck is an American Wigeon. I thought his tones matched nicely with that of the reflections on the water. I'm fond of that green swoosh on the males' heads. Wigeons are dabbling ducks feeding mostly on plant matter. Though I've never seen it, apparently sometimes a Eurasian Wigeon or two will show up here in North American and mix with their American cousins. And visa versa - American Wigeons sometimes show up in Europe.

I've waited several years for one of these guys to show up somewhere. Word was out that a single drake was discovered at this park two hours away from my location. I took the chance and did the four hour round trip to capture this stunning drake! Cold and partially submerge reminded me that winter waterfowl photography was in full swing :) Click for enlarged view :)
Wood drake.
Thank you for taking the time to view.

Male Starling, in all his finery, strutting his stuff in front of the fledglings, on a dull morning, in our garden, in Norfolk.
This Wood Duck just looked me straight in the eye and gave me his best " I'm a good looking duck" pose.
