The extreme cold weather in Nova Scotia means that ponds are mostly frozen over and forcing the ducks to small open areas of water. I have a special spot that is host to common, red-breasted  and hooded mergansers. A few scaup and common goldeneyes are here as well.
As always, look better when clicked on.

Gail, lovely low perspective and excellent feeding behavior. Also, the exposure and detail appear spot-on. Well done!
