Surf Scoters Squabble over Barnacles and Mussels Jigsaw Puzzle

Part brainteaser, part assemble-it-yourself art, this stunning, wildlife-themed puzzle is great for improving muscle memory.

They look like they're sharing a laugh, but don't let those smiles fool you. These male Surf Scoter seaducks are actually (and pointlessly) squabbling (read as: exchanging fowl language) over exposed barnacles and mussels that coat the bottom parts of pilings exposed on an early morning tide at the White Rock Pier. Photographed in early November 2021.
