That's a beautiful species and good job capturing these. White's are a little bright but could be my monitor.

Very nice and sharp images. I do think that the light was a little too harsh, and definitely overexposed the white parts of the bird. Nevertheless, very nice job. Thanks for sharing.

Nice shots Jim. I believe it's the first time I've seen Mergansers in flight.
