No good bald iggle shots (I hung around the table of plenty for well over 2 hours but the eagles would stay on the opposite side of the river mouth). Suddenly, 5 red breasted mergansers appeared from my right (surprise).

Moments later, the flock of seagulls took off from their birdbath to a rising crescendo of squeals: a river otter a mere 40 feet away dashed out from the boulders, headed for the river and the spooked the gulls. I fumbled with my settings (caught unprepared) and all I got was the shot of the critter in the river.

Why does the duck in the middle have a red eye and the others yellow?

Thanks Ernie. Adult red breasted mergansers have red eyes. I'm guessing the younger one does not, just as in many species outward appearance change with age.

Getting river otter shots in our area is always special. Well done Dennis.
