Tom and Bob are talking:
Tom: “I managed to lose my rifle when I was in the army.”
Bob: “And…”
Tom: “I had to pay $1000 to cover the loss. I’m starting to understand why a Navy captain always goes down with his ship. ”
Interesting Fact: Often when one bird dives in a large group, the others follow the leader and disappear. They can stay under for up to 2 minutes, but they normally dive for less than 30 seconds. ( https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Common_Merganser/lifehistory )

I love this duck. Looks like they could be in a rock band.

Seems like the shot was taken on quite a low angle – were you in a boat??
Your jokes are getting better! ( or i’m getting more accustomed to the humour – i’m not sure which?) 🙂
Thank you very much, I am really glad to see that you enjoyed my work. I acutely took it from a car passing by a local lake with a telescoping lens. I think you are getting accustomed to the jokes. Hehehe. Thank you again and Happy Blogging! 🙂
Beautiful Merganser !! I’ve never seen one, but, through your lens I see the beauty of the varied size and shape of the gray feathers in contrast to the tan head quill-like feathers. Thank you for sharing. Jan
