So this past winter, this little hen decided to swim by, so I took a few shots of her although the light on the lake was dreadful.

Just to show you how good light changes the look of the bird.

Nice detail Kal, Were you using a Polarizer Filter to get these shots?

Thank you Gary, the light hitting the bird really did it.

Thanx Downy, the Bufflers are quite skittish, you are right. Another shot here that would have been very nice if the light was better. I had a very high ISO here so had to filter the shot.

Very nice shots. Quite a difference in the lighting. Does this duck stay the winter?

Thanx Sindri and Mitch.
The Bufflers winter on the lake....in the spring they disperse.
