Final posting of my first ever images of Common Mergansers taken in 2005. For the previous postings in this series see, http://www.pbase.com/image/133276182 .

In this image, the happy couple share a moment on their own private little island. He seems quite pleased with himself.

Note: The observations leading to this series of images sparked my interest in bird/animal behaviour which I try to portray when posting SERIES of images.
