Birds & The Bees

This one is a hen Common Merganser

Female Bobolink. Hard to get, as they always stay hidden in the grasses on the nest, and rarely come out.

Just a bee on a young fern I was trying to photograph.

Great set, but the bobolink is my favourite!

3 very, very nice photos indeed. Love how the duck is posing in the first one.

Thanks JAS & MA.
Yes the Merganser just went into a "freeze" when she spotted me.

Very nice set HBG. Love all three of them. The bokeh/background in #2 is amazing.

Great set! I'm a big fan of the mohawk on that merganser.
