A Pirate Adventure

All good stories involve pirates so here we go. This is a female Bufflehead, a small duck that winters in ponds and shallow saltwater environments. They dive for crustaceans and mollusks.

Suddenly, a large pirate (gull) swoops in to try to steal the little duck’s catch.

Things look grim for the Bufflehead as she takes to the air in an attempt to escape.

But, with a burst of speed and a quick turn, our speedy heroine escapes with her prize.

A pirate tale with a happy ending.
