The smallest duck is this little diver, the Bufflehead. They are very quick and are probably one of the fastest flyers. They are also quite shy, so I was happy to get this shot of a little hen.

T, it was playing with me! If I walked one way down the trail it swam the other way and vice versa! I finally hid behind a tree and got her as she swam by looking for me!

lucky you! I'm looking for a good opportunity for the male bufflehead!

Andy, we are overrun with male Buffleheads, you need to come to Vancouver!

Andy, I got a couple of shots of a male, but he was being a bit more elusive than the female!

Andy, I'm still on the hunt for that elusive shot of the multi coloured male head in the right light!
