I encountered this busy flock of red breasted mergansers hens while checking out a lake for its boat docks and possible fishing potential. Although they would not allow me to approach as closely as I would have liked they did afford the opportunity for a few photographs while foraging their way along the shoreline. With the thermometer holding in the low twenties Fahrenheit and a stiff west wind neither the ducks or I was inclined to stay in one place for long!
There they go.
ReplyDeleteEven though they were in the water, I bet they were warmer than you were.
ReplyDeleteI sometimes wonder at what we do to get "that" shot. These little guys seem to enjoy the cold.
