Ice has left most of the small inland lakes and the birds are returning in large numbers. Very early this year after a soft winter.

Re: Hooded Merganser
Great shot! You have captured the great tufted head nicely, and a nice low point of view. We see these guys occasionally around here, maybe we'll see some when more of the water melts.

Re: Hooded Merganser
What a beautiful bird that you captured so well. I love those low angles on waterfowl shots.

Re: Hooded Merganser
I like that one with the pair. The subjects are very well isolated with that low angle you got.

Re: Hooded Merganser
I agree with everyone else - these are beautiful images - and especially with Nick's recognition of the importance of the very low angle you managed. That certainly contributes to the special quality these have.

Re: Hooded Merganser
Thanks again for the comments. The low POV is a result of shooting from a kayak.
