Mike returned to the area of the Palo Alto Baylands where he saw the female common goldeneye a few days prior. This time, he also saw a male trying to get the females attention.
It worked for a while, but soon another male goldeneye arrived. They got into a dispute over the female. Eventually, a canvasback duck came over and chased the males away and he pursued the female for a while.

Wonderful pictures! Thanks so much for posting and sharing!
ReplyDeleteNice series of photos. Either I need a bigger lens or better camo to get as close as these shots.
