Pretty impressive! This guys are little speedsters, so this is a great grab.

Lots of impact on this head-on image particularly at eye-level, Jim!
Well done.

Jim, love the insane POV, fantastic oncoming action shot, and the split BG looks great - an exciting, dynamic image.

Such a cool shot, Jim. Love the incoming head on pose and the layered background.

Awesome head-on low angle incoming shot. Not easy to lock on to these speedy little ducks when they are coming directly toward you.
Thanks for looking,

Hi Jim,

Nice head-on flight shot!
Looks like a common goldeneye to me.

Thanks Paul. I can see why this can be mistaken for a common goldeneye at this angle but it is, in fact, a bufflehead. This is the same bird photographed shortly after it landed a few yards away from me.

I stand corrected! Thanks, Jim.
The white patches extending down below the eyes got me.
