Visited Piper Spit a month or so ago to check out the Tufted Duck that had been reported there. While not my first Tufted Duck (I’ve seen them at Iona and in Japan), it is always a nice bird to see especially in North America. I really like how the plane of focus and relative stillness of the the Tufted Duck really help isolate it from the rest of the scene.
