Wishing everyone a “Happy Friday.” Unless you’re in Australia (for example), in which case “Hope you’re enjoying the weekend!” It’s lunchtime here in Erie County, Pennsylvania, and looks like seafood’s on the menu:

Unless indicated otherwise, all shots female (or immature) Red-breasted Merganser, as above and immediately below, including a tasty crustacean, @ South Pier.









(Shot above mostly Redhead, Mallard, & Lesser Scaup ducks.)







(Shot above mostly Common Goldeneye, Bufflehead, Canvasback, & Lesser Scaup ducks w/ an American Coot or two.)



Only the best seafood for our feathered friends! Love the last shot of the twins!
Always great to see diving duck foraging behavior!
