I've seen both male and female Mergansers separately before, but never together. He is especially a stunner, though both are gorgeous birds!
Enjoy! -Darin

I wonder if the video editors on The Titanic ever went, "Sorry, I can't right now. I'm busy synching the Titanic..."

Those are some beautiful ducks! Nice series. Were these in the wild?

Thank you, and yes, they were! We were driving out the drive from our church, and I noticed the male on a rock in the river by the road. We turned around, drove back up past them, and coasted back down so the engine wouldn't scare them. (I say river, but it's just a little creek.)
