Saw this duck yesterday and didn't get a good shot of it. Today, I stalked it, well sort of , anyway, my wish for some sun came about and this guy was still at the pond. The song that came to mind... You can't always get what you want, but if you try sometimes, you get what you need. :-D

" The Bufflehead is the only tree-nesting duck that can use nest holes of Flickers, the other ducks needing larger cavities." - hmmmmm

Alas, nowhere I see my goal.
Yet I have a soul, I have a soul.

It was only a so so day weather wise. Mostly cloudy :( once in a while the sun peeked out or a patch of blue sky was visable.

I stayed a good long time time today. I felt something I haven't felt in a while. Happy, and hopeful. I wish I could bottle that feeling.

While our Canadian Geese friends don't have the beautiful color of other birds, I do find them to be graceful, at times. This was one of those times, preening, the goose was very relaxed and contented.
