I traveled to a resort (Semiahmoo) near the Canadian border yesterday to take advantage of a break in our dreary weather. I spent most of the day on a boardwalk facing the bay and photographing the wide variety of waterfowl and other water loving birds. I basicalyy stayed in one spot and let the birds come to me. There were 3 or 4 pairs of red-breasted mergansers foraging and courting right in front of me. What an interesting and attractive bird.

This may be an immature male - note the black around the eye (or a bar fight last night?). It actually succeeded in swallowing this fish.

This "meal" looked like an eel and he swallowed it several times but it kept coming back up.
