Ducks on the Wing

The great compensation for winter's blustery weather is that Halibut Point's shoreline comes alive with birds. Seeing them on the ocean surface between dives for food presents an admirable view of their lifestyle and coloration.  When they fly, we get a fuller appreciation of their abilities and beauty in this challenging, stunning environment. The camera lets us take home a stop-action souvenir of these wonders.
