Some days they just turn the wrong way.

Nice, I just learned that mergansers eat fish last week. Pretty cool ducks if you ask me

Nice shots. I just hate it when they turn the wrong way - this is a universal problem for bird photographers :mrgreen:. Rest assured you are not alone. Not bad though, I like the first one the best.

I like the repeating patterns on the water's surface in shot #1, and the overall "feel" is nice. Looks like the duck caught a nifty fish!

Sweet shot!!! What type of camera, lens and setting did you use here? I'm getting more serious about photography, so the more I understand and learn the better.

You can say that again. I feel like they just don't like the camera. I can be out and see birds all over when I'm without my camera. The second the camera comes out it gets quite and everyone is gone.

Thanks. I just learned the same thing. I'm really not much of a birder.

Thanks. These were shot with Nikon D300 and Sigma 150mm-500mm
