Early season waterfowl
June, 2007
One of the things about being in Southeast Alaska in the "early" part of the season is the chance to see all sorts of waterfowl in their bright and blazing breeding plumage. Here are a pair of Barrow's Goldeneye males all decked out in their finest feathers looking to attract females.
Taking flight with the help of those HUGE feet!
Perhaps the most beautiful duck in all of Southeast Alaska, the male harlequin duck in breeding colors. This one is for you Tim Voss!
All of the effort that goes into attracting a female...
