A super tough duck species get anything of, and you certainly nailed this inflight shot. Great work!
Thanks for looking,

One of my favorite bird. Few years ago at Kodiak Island I had a lot of fan with these scoters. Nice sharp in flight picture with very good details.

Fantastic flight image of this species that has been a bit of a nemesis for me.

Thanks, E.J., I'm glad you liked it and Black Scoters really are not very cooperative most of the time.

The light and the angle of the light look great and the blacks turned out perfect. Nice flight pose and wing position too. Well done Axel
