Thanks again Bob S., Paul, Ken, Jack, Ann, Frank and others who viewed the original. A slightly looser crop of the Merganser is here:

A bit later in the afternoon, more clouds than in yesterday's Merganser shot. stan On Jun 9, 2013, at 4:01 PM, Stan Halpin wrote: > Thanks Paul. I'll do a different crop later.
