Title: Humber Bay East photos
Post by: KPaw on November 05, 2009, 08:14:18 AM

Meghan, your photos are excellent.  I was at Humber Bay last week and saw these guys but, due to the haze, couldn't get any decent photos.  I had never seen the RedHeads before and I'm glad to see your photo of them.  

These species are now on Grenadier Pond, just a little east of Humber Bay - all except for the RedHeads!  I find the Buffleheads so hard to get pictures of as they dive for a fairly long time and are usually quite far out.  Your photos are great!

Meg ... these are great photos.  :D

I love male Hooded Mergansers!  Have you ever seen one tilt back it's head then let loose with a whirring sound that sounds like a blender?  :lol:

Morning All,

Thanks to all of you for your kind words.
I am still trying to figure out how to work with my camera. I am glad that you are enjoying some of my photos as I work towards taking better pictures.
Ducks are new to me. Who knew there were so many beautiful kinds. I have found a new love thanks to everyone here and all your pictures of them . I now love ducks!!  :D

P.S Jo-Anne I wondered what the heck that noise was  :?
