Girl Friends

It was a rainy day at the lake and the only birds around were 5 female Merganser Ducks. These two must have been one year old juveniles because they were constantly playing with each other. They were splashing around and chasing each other, diving together and talking to each other, completely ignoring the other ducks which were much more reserved.

Hi Gary
You have some pretty cool ducks there. The low angle, detail and action are vary nice. Good work. Peter
