Hooded Merganzers at -18 on Sunday

 Ponds were all frozen overnight but Donna and I braved the cold to see some ducks.  Ok so we were the only people out there. Our trips to look lasted 10-15 min then run back and get warm again. Back out for 5 min etc.
But we were thrilled to have some nice looks at the Hoodies.



 Fishing and diving non stop

 I really like this shot of the female with her head up. Not sure what it means but she had many males chasing her.


 One hoodie has a lot of white on her and the colour of her head is very pale red.
