Tentative first approach.
try for better view |
They are in a small pool created by a beaver dam on the rapids |
Hop a little closer |
That's a better view |
Better yet! |
The Beaver Dam |
also moving onto the dam |
TADA! |
Merganser spots fish and dives right off the dam |
wouldn't you think she'd fly over? |
Best vantage point yet. Right on the dam. |
of course you have to contend with a lot of thrashing and splashing. Water level so low they are walking on the bottom |
Heron has learned enough and has left. |
Got one! |
And here they come to see |
I think they want her to share |
Must be more where that one came from |
YEP! |
another one wants a piece of the action |
Gimme Gimme |
Have reached the end of the pool and turned around to go back. |
And caught sight of me |
Panic!!! Scramble over the rocks |
Head for the dam, girls! |
Launch pad |
Lifting off |
