A couple of Buffleheads

[Red Rabbit]

Down at the little pond in the meadow of Kachina Village, these two buffleheads kept their distance and were a little too far out and moving to capture good feather detail before taking to the air. The warm days have melted plenty of snow made the meadow in to a shallow pond of slowly moving water which has attracted plenty of mallards, coots, and a few goldeneye and bufflehead.

Nice photo, Thanks!

Tried again to find some cooperative waterfowl this morning down in Pumphouse Wash below the meadow. A pair of mallards and the morning ice were there. I'll get a close-up of a duck sometime in the right light.

 

The Little Colorado River is flowing, so it's off to Grand Falls near Leupp this afternoon.
