It's a tufted duck. Aythya fuligula.

Lovely capture, showing his namesake feature well.

If I don't get the shots I want with the gear I have, the only optics I need to examine is the mirror on the bathroom wall. The root cause will be there.

I would think that would be quite challenging. What an incredible shot, Shalu!!

The lighting is gorgeous, Shalu. Very nice shot.

Beautiful action photo. You certainly captured that moment so very well.

Thank you very much, Mike and Richard!

Thank you very much, Peter! You are welcome to visit San Francisco bay area any time, the pair I am shooting should be around until at least June. Best time is May-June when the babies fledge, then you get a lot of interesting behavior.

Nice catch. These are hard to find. Great job Bill.

Thanks, Peter. I almost walked by it even though it was more in the open than normal.
