Bond Head

 Merganser in reflection, last Monday

I think this merganser was admiring the reflection as much as I was, then...


it heard a click, gave me the evil eye, and...


paddled away in a hurry.

    Some ducks ignore cameras, others scurry at the sound of a click. Go figure. I do think it was admiring the reflections.
