Although not a stellar photo of a pair of Buffleheads, I liked the mood it presents. We took this image on a foggy 21 November 2021 at Olympia’s Capitol Lake. Buffleheads are the smallest North American diving duck. This size allows Buffleheads to breed in holes abandoned by Northern Flickers. Tree cavities are often a scarce commodity and females often return to their nesting areas, keeping the same mate over several years. Buffleheads also breed in human-made nest boxes.
