. . . male merganser, . . .
. . . bald eagles, . . .
. . . and immature bald eagles!

An occasional cormorant.
Flock of mergansers getting ready to take flight.
Canada geese.
Takeoff!
One of many osprey nests.
One of many wood duck boxes in this wildlife management area.
My kayak. Warm spirit, cold feet!
Enjoy.
