Hooded Mergansers

A couple dozen of these spend the winter at a small lake near my house, but I'm usually walking the dog when I'm there. I went over yesterday with the camera instead. I think I can do better with a little more time and patience, but these were a good start.

Thanks. I'd been trying to shoot some in the shade and didn't realize I'd left it at 1600 for some of these.

Thank you. I had to weed through a buch of bad shots to find any keepers and I almost overlooked this one.
