    Default Surf Scoter's

    So Surf Scoters are a bird that over winters here. I have been trying to get close to them for 2 seasons now. Every time I walk down the pier they see me coming and swim way off in the far distance. I lucked out today though..

    watching me




    The reason they stuck around was it was evening and they were looking for dinner. As the male swam under the pier, I went to the other side and saw the hen












    It looked like they where after mussels on the piling.

    my fav shot, just wish I hadn't cut off his butt, it kinda looks like a painting to me

    All wonderful captures Jude, and with a perspective not often seen.
    Reality is a nice place to visit, but I wouldn't want to live there!
