Yesterday afternoon I looked off my back deck and saw a merganser land in the river. To my surprise, when I returned with the K-3/bigma he was still there. He didn’t really like to be photographed, and the combination of distance and light made things a big challenging. I suppose that I could have tried a slower shutter speed. While they aren’t the best technically, I don’t know if I’ve ever seen another one in my yard, so that was kind of cool. https://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/albums/72177720295655663 -- Larry Colen lrc@red4est.com

Fascinating. The fifth pic is quite nice.

My favorite was the last one, which Ann liked. It was supposed to be the first frame but flickr and lightroom had a spat and it ended up in another album altogether. > > Paul > >> On Jan 1, 2022, at 5:39 PM, Larry Colen <lrc@red4est.com> wrote: >> >> Yesterday afternoon I looked off my back deck and saw a merganser land in the river.
