Too bad it was such a grey day. No catchlight, so she looks nearly eye-less :( Still ... not every day I get such close shots of the Goosanders. They tend to be more camera-shy.
Another day and here was another of my hoped for Lockdown ticks on the river walk.
I love these guys, they're so handsome I think, how I managed to get him framed in there just don't ask, as I've no clue LOL
Since people seem to enjoy seeing one of these birds out of the water, here's another shot of her. I got three shots of her. The cartoon pose one, one where her head is turned in perfect profile but she is out of focus, and this one. Her beak is pointed right at the camera so you can't see many...
Went for a walk the other day and saw this female Merganser walking back and forth on the other side of a large stream. I grabbed this shot just before she took off. This pose makes her look like a Loony Toons cartoon character, lol
In case you haven't figured out what this is, well, it is Common Merganser fishing. This one was swimming in a straight line, very fast, with it's head almost under water. Strange to watch it do it's thing.
