The Common Merganser

A series of 18 photos

Nature Photographers are always trying to find the action shot. With most birds that is a flying shot, a shot that shows them catching something to eat, or a fighting shot. With diving waterfowl generally, you get them sitting on the water or a photo without their head showing an arched back and then they are gone under the water.

Common Mergansers are one of those waterfowl. The female or immature Common Merganser is interesting looking with burnt orange feathers on the head that flare out in back and a long thin beak.
