The small ‘wild eyed’ fish eating duck. Also they are very shy.
This is a bird I have a terrible time photographing. They seem to like dark places and dive under water faster than a Grebe.
Best viewed large.
I photographed this male in a big pond at Magnolia Cemetery. It’s the one place I can be sure of getting a chance with one.
These are a strangely beautiful bird.
Nice! I never have a long enough lens when I see one, they seem to be just out of reach.
Yes! Always too far. This one was too but I pushed it and got lucky.
I’ve never seen one in real life. Your photo is great, dealing with the contrast of pure white and pure black perfectly. Even the water drops on his back are perfect.
Thanks so much. They are near impossible to get a good clear shot of. 😳
