It was cool this morning, no questions asked.  The life on the lake was active, and as you can see, several interesting poses were obtained.  December will prove even more interesting with Redheads and Canvasbacks, but right now, I am enjoying the courtship rituals of the Buffleheads.  It is common for several males to court the same female and she remains quite aloof during this process.  Sound familiar in your world, guys?
