A LITTLE MERGANSER ACTION , PART 2

I find this one much better than your previous post. Very nice crop. Good exposure and whites.
Well done.

Great "feeding frenzy" action Gary. Well done for capturing the action. This is a really difficult bird in harsh light and I think you did pretty well with the exposure. Too bad the birds weren't angled towards you but you take what you can get in unique situations like this. I assume the one bird is trying to steal the fish from the other. If so this is called "kleptoparasitism", and I didn't know mergs did it!
Gary, nice . . . much better story than before . . . and I like the crop. Interesting capture!
Much better seperation here Gary. The first shot was so chaotic that I had to study the image for a bit
just to discern what was happening.

Add my vote to this one over the first post, much nicer. TFS
I'll wrap up the mergansers with this image. The guy in front got the fish. Kleptoparasitism, got to uncork this one at the next cocktail party.Originally Posted by John Chardine
