I was momentarily distracted by the Canada Goose With A Treasure while watching the two Hooded Merganser drakes show off. When I reverted my attention to the ducks I saw that a few more females and another male had joined the party.
The three drakes performed tight circle maneuvers…
… that ended with a spirited chase.
The females lost interest and pretty soon they all casually swam to the other side of the pond, out of my view.
Love that last shot, Ellen!
Thanks, Donna! What a show-off!
I love the way you do a series of shots in a post, like a story board.
Instead of simply viewing a post, it’s a bit like reading a story, watching an episode, and lingering a bit.
One of the best breaks from my day!

Hi Paz, so glad to know that you like this format. I do enjoy documenting wildlife behavior and sometimes don’t realize what the birds are up to until after it’s over š.
