A group of about 8-10 Juvenile Mergansers were rushing up and down the river to catch fish. The river is shallow and the water is clean, good for fishing.

Cracking shot Karl. Looks like the fish is diving straight into its gullet...

Make your life spectacular!

Excellent image with the fish about to be swallowed- the water colour and patterns are a nice touch to this photo, Karl.

Karl, Thanks for sharing. I'm always surprised by the size of the fish that they can swallow.
