Flying just above the water.
This fast flying birds were clicked at 110 miles per hour if I remember right.
However, shooting them is easier than that of Long-tailed Ducks
due to their larger size and more predictable flight pattern.
Thanks for looking.

A click on this one shows the exquisite detail - the eye is amazing! Excellent flight shot, enhanced by that beautiful blue water, Karl.
