Yesterday morning as I headed to town to do some chores (the transfer station called and said that it missed me), I noticed two pairs of buffleheads on the quickly thawing lake. By mid-afternoon, I was able to head back with the camera to see if I could make a few photographs of these migrants as they passed by.
In addition to the buffleheads, there were also some mergansers, some mallards and another (unidentified) diving duck hanging around in the open water. Unfortunately all were too far away for any worthwhile photographs… even with the 500 mm lens. I enjoyed just watching them for some time.
The lake was quite calm and I was eventually attracted to the reflections of the lake shore trees in the still water along the far shore. Making lemonade from the lemons nature hands you?
