False Start

The Missus and I went with our son on a whale watching tour put on by the Virginia Aquarium and Marine Science Center just a few miles out to sea off Virginia Beach.

We were still inside Rudee Inlet when we passed these two female buffleheads. They're the smallest ducks in the area and, as you can see, they are adorable.

In this shot the far one decides to get the jump on the near one.
