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. ![](http://i831.photobucket.com/albums/zz236/rruttle1/HM2_zps51246c48.jpg) ![](http://i831.photobucket.com/albums/zz236/rruttle1/HM1_zpsa99a8cd5.jpg)

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!!! ![](http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y182/esshup/Hunting/Hunting%202013%20and%202014/coloradoElk1_zps2e89ab22.jpg)

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.
