I loved this. My favourites were the female mergansers posing with the fish. They look like coiffured pocket-sized cormorants.

Great photos of the Hooded Mergansers Karen and nice to see so many. I always like to see your photos of ice as well. That photo of the ice that looks like selenite is amazing.

Let's hear it for girl ducks that can fish with the best of them! 🤗 For some reason today's ice pics took me back to my childhood discovery of iced over puddles. The kneeling to take a closer look and discover what was going on down there. As always, thank you Karen!

Wow, nothing like ducks and ice to “strengthen our capacity for joy”! The mergansers are wonderful, the ice is lovely - and that final glowing one, wow!
