Merganser

Female Merganser getting ready to dive for her breakfast at the Ponds at 10:17 this morning. We don't often see Mergansers at the Ponds, yet there were five of them today, in the absence of other water-fowl. Even the ubiquitous Canada Geese were conspicuously absent. Perhaps the heavy rain of the past few days drove them away. But I can report the reappearance of Swallows.
