I know that a lot of photographers, especially those that focus on birds, prefer taking photos of male birds instead of females. And the reason for that is that generally male birds look different from their female counterparts. Males are usually brighter in color with more fancy patterns. This is said to be a feature that they developed to attract females.
While male birds are beautiful, I think female birds are just as special and unique in their own ways. This is a female Harlequin Duck that I spotted in Cannon Beach, Oregon.
