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.

Male Greater spotted woodpecker, looking very smart for Spring

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.

Lots of action in the slough today.

The resident dipper pair at Frome Banks nature reserve in Stroud this afternoon.

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.

This Wood Duck just looked me straight in the eye and gave me his best " I'm a good looking duck" pose.

Dapper in looks and cheerful in song, the Pyrrhuloxia is a tough-as-nails songbird of baking hot deserts in the American Southwest and northern Mexico. They're closely related to Northern Cardinals, but they are a crisp gray and red, with a longer, elegant crest and a stubby, parrotlike yellow bill.
