If you are wondering
if I am smitten with birds
on my blog lately,
you
are
CORRECT!!
Autumn here is a time for migration to begin
all over again,
this time with the birds heading south
through
the U.P. of Michigan.
One of my favorite ducks to capture with my lens
is a Merganser.
There are two types of Mergansers,
a
and a
(Please click on their names above which will link you to a wonderful
website called All About Birds and will tell you about these two species!)
We saw a group of
Common Mergansers
on the lake,
and I was lucky enough
to get a few
far off shots
of them.
Enjoy!:
Here is one preening itself:
(You're so vain, I bet you think this blog is about you, about you...)
TEN!!!
That is the biggest group of Mergansers I have been able to see in one bunch for a photo!
(Color me HAPPY!):
A lovely couple:
Maybe they are the most conceited birds, EVER!
They all seem concerned about their appearance for
the camera!:
Who could blame them?
They ARE rather handsome!
One of the things I love the MOST about them
is that they have this feathery, bushy, rusty "mane" behind their heads...it really shows up
in the first bird on the right in this photo:
(I just want to take out my pick or comb and run it through it there...I know. I KNOW...
I am STRANGE. Try to forget I even said that.)
Flapping for attention:
Again with the preening!!:
(no, don't tell me it's bugs. I refuse to listen!)
Not on THESE beauties!!:
(That last one was just camera shy...he wasn't eating bugs on his back...REALLY!!)
Okay.
Okay.................
Maybe I just might want to WASH that comb
after combing those back-of-the-head feathers....
