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.

Super bonus whilst out looking for the Kestrels......

B-1343, a Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner, on approach to runway 23 at Toronto Pearson International Airport in Mississauga, Ontario.

It was arriving as CHH7975 (Hainan Airlines Co., Ltd.) from Beijing, People's Republic of China.

The aircraft was wearing a special DreamWorks Kung Fu Panda livery.

Today in microfashion in the garden ... I thought he was just about the best dressed fly I had ever seen. If you know the name of this bug in such sartorial splendour please let me know in the comments. :)

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.

From Cornell:

With sooty black plumage, a bare black head, and neat white stars under the wingtips, Black Vultures are almost dapper. Whereas Turkey Vultures are lanky birds with teetering flight, Black Vultures are compact birds with broad wings, short tails, and powerful wingbeats. The two species often associate: the Black Vulture makes up for its poor sense of smell by following Turkey Vultures to carcasses. They soar high in the sky and keep an eye on the lower-soaring Turkey Vultures. When a Turkey Vulture’s nose detects the delicious aroma of decaying flesh and descends on a carcass, the Black Vulture follows close behind. Highly social birds with fierce family loyalty, Black Vultures share food with relatives, feeding young for months after they’ve fledged.

I have over 100 folders of unprocessed photos from the past 6 years which I’m currently going through, this is one of those. Note – many of these re-visit an already posted subject. I've gotten through the first 11 folders.

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 :)

Mr. Bluebird looks very dapper as we near the Spring courting season.

Thank you for taking the time to view.
