Common Mergansers
I took a quiet walk on Christmas Day and saw the Mergansers who are hanging out at the upper pond at my in-laws' senior community. There are about 6 mallard pairs there but these two Mergansers were visiting as well. I was running out of batteries but got a couple of nice shots of them.
I'll post a more complete Christmas report another time. Greg and I maintained until we got home from all the festivities and then we succumbed to a cold. Blech!
Here are more Mergansers in the meantime . . .
And the Mallards:
Merry Christmas!

Very nice photos. Thanks for sharing. Seems holiday coughs and sniffles are commonplace here, too.
Don't you just love mergansers? they look like they are always having a bad hair day.
Sorry about the cold...get better!
Your new camera takes really good bird shots. The reflection in the water looks good, too.
Your new camera takes awesome pics! I too love the reflections and ripples that you captured. The mergansers are lovely- they kind of look like they have icicles on their sides.
Feel better!
Thanks everyone! And just imagine how gorgeous my pics will look when I get more experience with the camera! :)
I love the Mergansers too. They looked to me like that rocker chick who works in a conservative office -- gotta keep that hair in line but you know it really wants to be all gelled and spiky!
