2. I love buffleheads. Got a ceramic bufflehead one on my desk.

Cute as bugs they are.

3. Yes, and I love to see them 'skittering.'

5. What do you mean by "skittering"?

I've not had the opportunity to observe buffleheads in the wild. They supposedly winter in my state, but I avoid going outside when it's cold. Could you please describe the behavior you mean?

6. Kind of like skipping over the water; will try to find pics,

but I don't record in video.

7. Oh, I think I know what you mean now!

I watched some videos and I think I saw them do that. I'll post one here in a bit.
