The image shown here shows a small group of males with one female.
In the image shown here, a female is in front, flapping her wings after a dive.
The male shown here is preening.
The female Bufflehead shown here was a wintering bird which had not yet departed for the breeding grounds. This shot was taken in Austin, Travis Co., Texas, in April, 2008, with a Canon EOS 1D Mark III and EF 600mm F/4 L IS lens and 2X extender.
