Saw a pair of buffleheads, a kind of sea duck, at the lake yesterday. The male has a large strangely-shaped head that looks black and white but when the light hits it right, is shown to be iridescent greens and purples. I looked them up and learned they’re small because they nest in flicker nest holes in their home habitats. These were stopped here for migration. The little bonus photo below shows the odd shape of the male’s head, head-on. -- source link
