Harlequin Lunch

     The harlequin stayed put in Sheepshead Bay today, so I enjoyed some full daylight views of it with my coworker on our lunch break today. It still thinks it is a bufflehead as it keeps up with a small group of them.

With a female bufflehead for comparison.

 

He was very busy this afternoon doing a lot of preening and grooming.

Again, with another bufflehead.

When he splashed around after preening, he did what looked like somersaults into and under the water.

Happy to catch this duck in daylight. I checked my Brooklyn Bird list, and this is 239.
