I'm Outa Here!

This female Common Merganser didn't wait around to take its leave! They are quite shy of people, around here anyway, and keep their distance from humans. I spotted several of them together as they swam along, seeming to be unconcerned about safety. But they are ever on the alert and are gone at a moment's notice. I loved how the wings looked as it began liftoff.

A noteworthy take-off photo, Vern. Excellent face and wing detail, clear and distinct. The blurred foot and the water splash show the speed that you address in your notes. Great photo. BV
