Description
"Adorable Bufflehead" ©2024 Loree Johnson Photography. Buffleheads (Bucephala albeola) are small diving ducks with large heads. The name bufflehead comes from "buffalo head" because of the relative size of its head. The males (drakes) appear black and white until the sun hits their iridescent feathers, revealing shades of green and purple. Photographed at Tule Lake National Wildlife Refuge, California.
