I was out there 5 in the morning to take pictures of the sunrise and then for my main reason, to take pictures of Harlequin Ducks. There were several others taking pictures of the sunrise, but with lack of clouds and wind creating ripples, I decided it was best to locate the ducks. All together there were 8 harlequins, five males and three females. Being it was the mating season, the three males with mates were kept busy keeping the other two males away from the females. By the time the light was good for bird photography, rest of the photographer were gone, the ducks and I had the lake to ourselves. The kept me entertained, watching them diving for food and males chasing each other away. I was hoping the sun would soon hit the lake and provide warmth, when it did, I was not the only taking in the sun,
Until next moment,
Amar
