Media notes
Composite of my two best shots of this species that day. Same individual, frames taken a few seconds apart.
Observation details
Loose flock of 4. Foraging in shallow water. Occasionally gave display with head tucked down, chest puffing out, and bobbing front of body up and down together. (Really neat to see this!) Breeding plumage. Some individuals looked brighter--females? Perhaps one male with duller plumage, but I could never see them all at once in good light. Several photos.
