Shots like this are difficult due to issues with separation and depth of field. The front Merganser looks good with very nice eye contact, but the one in the rear is turning away from the camera.

Nice job getting 2 in one view. I can't get within 100 yards of one.

I like that you caught them facing in opposite directions - is this a case of 'you watch my back and I'll watch yours.....' Nicely spotted and taken, Mike.

Thanks Carol...they were going in opposite directions and I timed the shot they would be together.
