Great shot capturing both the male and female Mergansers! We go to that same spot, but last time it was all frozen over. Nice to see it is opening up.
Thanks!
It is nice that we are about at the end of the hard water season and have lived to tell about it! The Arboretum is even starting to open up with a few parking areas cleared.
