The streamlined, Red-breasted Merganser is a handsome bird and a great fisher - its long, serrated bill helps it to catch and hold its slippery fish prey. It is most commonly spotted around the coast in winter, not on a lake like these two.

My thanks to anyone who views, faves or comments on any of my photos. It is much appreciated.
