From the wellhouse, i spotted two distant whitish bodied ducks on the lake. And so, out of curiosity I investigated. Upon a closer look from the Peninsula meadow shoreline, my observation was confirmed: the long waiting hen Common Merganser has found her Valentine, a drake has joined her. Both lovely dovey birds were romancing in front of Three Sisters Islands at 235.. What happened next, i don't know (wink wink). 😉
Common Merganser (Mergus merganser) (2)
