Goosander numbers had been building on the inland lakes and reservoirs near my home. So lovely to look at and watch, but they tend not to venture too close and remain quite distant. This doesn't give for good photos unless there is good light, and that was the case last week when I was able to get some nice bright images. Most have now dispersed and will be having young. They will be back again late summer.

ReplyDeleteA very handsome duck, but where are the dashing males?
ReplyDeleteThey are so pretty. I like ducks very much.
ReplyDeletethe name was unfamiliar so I checked, and the bird is quite familiar — in the US it’s called the Common Merganser. Nice photos!
