Mergansers/ Camera Critters

Common mergansers on a Lake Simcoe beach about a week ago

So what do you think these two mergansers are talking about?

    Probably discussing the new conditioner they used to get the top knot to stand up so well.
    Madge and Barbara Jean---they do go one so. MB

    I think they're confused and discussing the last chapter of the "Lost" series...
    God bless you!

    Great photo! They're so cute with their tuft of feathers on top of their heads. I'd have to say they're discussing weather, as Kaori said.

    Try this with a Merseyside accent:
    'ello doock, 'ow are yer?'
    'Cor blimey, I'm freezin'!'

    Love it!

    This is really a pretty bird. I have seen none around my area and don't think they are ever here.

    I do not find them common at all! They are eye catching!!!!!!! As for what they are talking about. . . YOU! "She's going to take our photograph again and feature us on the internet this time! We'll be famous!"

    lovely birds!

    I would have to say the one on the left is opining about the validity of cold fusion. The on the right is wishing his whole head fit under his wings ;)

    I love the head feathers on the mergansers...I would bet they are talking about hoping the water stays open as long as possible...
