Female Mergansers looking to take cover as a storm settles in for most of the day. These ladies are very difficult to get close to. I think the thunder was covering up my approach which allowed me to get a picture of the three socializing before takeoff.

Very nice composition and detail in this shot. You get the feeling that something's up as they focus very intently on the unseen element. A really beautiful and intriguing capture Debra.

I get a nostalgic feeling from the shot. I feel these ladies are waiting for their mates to come home from the sea. Lovely balance to the shot.

Very nice capture of the moment with those ladies. Look to me that they are looking at a break in the clouds far away on the horizon. Thay don't feel in a hurry to go fishing in that weather.
