Red-breasted merganser
Also known as fish ducks as that's their main food, this red-breasted merganser was with a small flock swimming in the harbour at Olcott, New York last week.
Longtail and merganser taking off
One female longtail duck was with the fishing mergansers and it even took of for the far end of the harbour when the mergansers did.

I love the water ripples, and that's a great take off shot!

Great pictures on the water
Greetings
That's a gorgeous duck! I like the bill.

Delightful shots!
Beautiful shots! I love the waterdrops flying around in the second photo.
A couple of birds that we're familiar with in this country, though Long-tails are usually distant specks bobbing about on the North Sea. Nice to see them close-up and that punk-rocker Merganser too.
That's SUCH a cool bird, I'd like it even if it wasn't RED!!!
Love the spiky hair style ;-)
looks like a race in progress...
Love his long bill. Beautiful bird.
A wonderful moment with the feathered friends.
gorgeous shots!
i really like that first one! great ripples in the water. well done!!:)
Wow...very seldom I'm left speechless...but I swear your images of two I've not seen leaves me without words!! Except for "awesome"!!
Beautiful captures!
that´s quite a red bill the merganser has. :)
With such a long bill the merganser must be quite good at catching fish.
I am sorry, but my first thought was 'bad hair day', then followed the but it's a great capture thought.
Beautiful photos and birds.
What great shots!!!!
What sweet, sweet captures - love the bird 'action shots'!
The scruffy hair bird, a bird after my own heart!
