Location Race Point Beach, Provincetown, MA
To my left, I saw several ducks at the water's edge. Only one of them was an adult male; the rest were brownish. I strongly suspected this species, but I wanted to get closer to be sure AND get a nice look at this cool duck.
As I slowly made my way over -- taking a few steps, then pausing to look through binoculars, repeat -- a woman was walking to my left with a camera on a tripod. She was walking briskly and not stopping at all, so I was rather annoyed at her because I was afraid she would scare them off. So I quickened my pace somewhat.
She indeed made them head into the bay and swim away, but I got close enough to see it clearly. And at least they didn't fly away.
