The Bufflehead (Bucephala albeola) is a small migratory sea duck. They are among the smallest of the American ducks. Adult males are mostly white with a black back. Their head is iridescent green and purple with a large white patch behind the eye. Females are grey with a black back and a small white patch behind the eye. Most buffleheads winter in protected coastal water or open inland water. Their breeding habitat is wooded lakes and ponds in the boreal forest of Alaska and Canada. Buffleheads take advantage of their small size by being able to utilize the nesting cavities made by woodpeckers. They are diving ducks that forage underwater for insects, crustaceans and mollusks. This male bufflehead was photographed while swimming in Walnut Canyon Lakes near Flagstaff, Arizona, USA.

The photograph depicts birds standing on the shore of a frozen lake on a winter day, with no sunlight and greenery around. The icy surface of the water looks cold and smooth, possibly with cracks or a thin layer of snow covering it. The birds are likely searching for food or simply resting by the shore, their feathers may be slightly ruffled by the cold wind. The landscape appears desolate and uninhabited, creating an atmosphere of winter solitude and tranquility. The cold wind might gently stir the snow, adding a sense of winter freshness and silence to the scene
