Common Merganser for Outdoor Wednesday

                                                                                                                                                                   I call this photo 'Going around the bend'. Can you see the male Common Merganser in the photo 

below?

  

I have circled it in red to make it clearer for you  to see. We have a lot of these fishing ducks in our river, due to the many Gaspereau found here as they gather in this area in readiness to travel upstream to their spawning grounds.  Others gather here to fish for these Gaspereau: Ospreys, Gulls and fishing ducks and people too. these fish are so plentiful that sometimes they can be picked up in your hands but you have to be careful of their sharp backs when you do so!
