Sometimes in bird photography there’s sunshine. Even in Erie, Pennsylvania in winter. These lovely shots off South Pier last week, on a painfully cold day.


So nice to pick up the head iridescence on these male Goldeneyes!












With the windchill, probably below 0 deg F (-18 deg C). So cold, even human footprints were frozen!







Coming soon, more sunny ducks, and a word about Scaup ID!
