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.
