Day 119

I was down on the river Sunday and there was a Loon acting very strange.  It was kicking through the water, and twisting around and doing all sort of antics.  It didn’t seem to have a hurt wing but was certainly twisting like it was.  Then it would flap to dry everything off.  I watched for close to an hour.

Here are just a few photos of it.

I thought I was seeing two smaller Loons in this photo, but something wasn’t quite right.

It is a Red-Breasted Merganzer!  And the Mrs. in the photo above.  I wasn’t able to get any closer photos of her.
