Was fortunate enough to have a small group of buffleheads approach very close to where I was shooting.  Rarely can I get close to these guys.  Unfortunately there was a swarm of mallards following me around hoping to be fed and obstructing my field of view.

Nice portrait Leigh. Buffleheads are hard to get, very shy. I love the iridescent feathers.
