Observation details
Incredibly confiding and delightful flotilla hanging around the inlet side of the jetty, nicely illuminated by the rising sun. Two hens, four immature males, and one pristine adult drake. Watched them diving repeatedly in the surf, also heard them giving adorable squeaking vocalizations. The adult male seemed especially defensive of an apparently paired female. This species will always be one of my favorite local birds
