The Mergansers are getting ready to move on. They look great in breeding colors, and their behaviour is "jumpy" to put it mildly. Pairs have mostly been established, but males are active in display, impressing the ladies and defending them from others. The competition is fierce!
Male and female
meeting 2 other males
The 3 get into action
Another one coming in
Push out your breasts
Stretch your necks
Bend down, like you're nearly drowning
And chase competitors
Most females pay hardly any attention and act like they don't know what all the fuss is about.
However, occasionally one gets upset.
