A small group of Hooded Mergansers was idly swimming a section of an inlet off Shem Creek.
I expected to see them diving for food, but they just bobbed along.
Not sure what caused this kerfuffle and it was over in a second.

I love seeing photos of Hooded Mergansers.. they’re gorgeous!
Aren’t they! I was quite please to see them this close, and for them to ignore me!
What a treat! Watching them “bob along” is just delight, Ellen.
Thanks, Carol, glad that you liked them. We haven’t seen many ducks this winter/spring in any of the places we frequent which made me extra happy to see these.
You’re so fortunate!!
Lovely series, Ellen, I get excited when I see these mergansers!
Thanks, Donna! I was pretty happy to see them, and so close.
