If you look closely at this shot, you'll notice a female bufflehead standing rather nonchalantly at the left - while two males were performing their antics in the water to impress her.

They're back!
Today was a banner day for me. I heard some familiar commotion when I approached the marsh this morning, and sure enough, there on their island - the pair of Canada geese that have been coming to the same spot - how many years now? I think it was 2006 when I first saw them. At least I'm assuming they are the same birds. Apparently the average lifespan of the Canadian goose is 10 - 24 years, with some records of over 30 years. Anyway, I was elated to see them back.
