Hairheads

Not a great day for outdoor activities today. Rainy and cold, but I spotted this knot of Red-breasted Mergansers on the river and gave the shot a try. Not great but they are such fun to watch. My grandfather Pop Bayne called them Pheasant ducks. He hunted them on the shores of his creek many years ago. They have a very fishy taste and are not great table fare as far as I am concerned.
