These Hooded Mergansers showed up last Saturday. There was 5 total and they stayed around all day. Sorry for the low quality pic's they are about 250 yards away taken on an I-phone through a spotting scope.

R&R. Were they in the glare of the sun? That may be a reason why they look the way they do.

Here's a picture that I took when I was in Colorado Elk hunting. It was taken from the lodge porch. Samsung S4 thru the spotting scope. The elk were just a hair over 1400 yds away. They ARE a lot bigger than the Mergansers tho!!!

Esshup, Yes definitely in the sun. But that's the first time Ive ever tried that. I found it very hard to center up.

BGK, a buddy of mine used the video mode and one side of a pair of 10x40 binoculars to video me shooting a Pronghorn at 300 yds. It turned out O.K.

Cool pic from such a long distance. They are eating the small fish and other forage in your pond.
