On Easter Monday I managed to photograph a pair of Hooded Mergansers with friend and fellow photography Jim Cumming. All photos were taken with the Canon 40D and Sigma 50-500mm mounted on a Manfrotto monopod.
1. Look back
2. Three drops
3. Bill shake, hood flare (too bad about the look away)

4. Female Wing Flap
5. Male wing flap
6. Male In flight. It's soft but I was still pleased to catch the action in a frame when the pair burst into flight unexpectedly.
