Nice frame. I've never seen a bufflehead with that head coloring -- we only get ours in the winter, when they are all black and white. They are one of my favorite birds.

Glenn, I think you take some astonishing photos. I'm normally entirely in agreement with your framing as well but this one seems to me to be just a little too tight on the left; the tail feathers are just too close to the edge.

I still wish I'd taken it, though.
