Title: Merganser with chicks
Post by: Photoman on June 27, 2010, 09:57:09 PM: Greetings to all :D

Hope that everyone is having a great birding and photo season so far. The weekends haven't been great, weather wise, I hope it gets better.
I stopped at a friends place who has a cottage at Willow Beach on Lake Simcoe. Spotted a female merganser with chicks swimming in front of his place. It was overcast and not so great lighting. Here are a few pics. Enjoy.
