Merganser Magic - a photo on Flickriver

Merganser Magic

A beautiful male red-breasted merganser (Mergus serrator), on a lovely evening in late May - where I sat a little hidden by a boat, on one of the little beaches closest to our home.

Several different bird species came really close, including two male red-breasted mergansers. I always think it's extra fun when they get this close, since they are pretty shy and use to notice me.

The two came separately, but both of them came right in front of me- doing their little courtship display where they lower and stretch their neck and head, and then they came ashore to pose only a few meters away from me.

It was a great experience, and I took too many photos of them that I look forward to show more of later on ツ
