Alot of activity on the rivers here now. Mergys are heading north. I guess I've never heard of anyone going south to fish....hmmmm.

These ain't the best-just representative of whats headin for Minny.

And a couple Eagles.

Great eagle shots, MM!

[Steve Foss]

Hey, these are great. The second and fourth merganser shots are excellent, and the eagle shots are all sweet!

[Dbl]

Nice MM I like the eagle shots as well!

[mmeyer]

There's nothing wrong with those!! I really like the 3rd Merganser and both of the eagles are great too.

[MARINERMAGNUM]

Many thanks to the Minny Bunch.

I just hate posting high ISO images. I don't have any noise reduction software,and I don't know which one is best. Any of you peeps have a fav noise knocker-outer? Ninja? Neat Image?

C'mon..Spill.

I love the last merganser picture! It gave me quit the humorous cartoon bubble. To me it looks like the one hen is giving the other hen "the what's for" and the poor saps are caught in the middle not daring to say a word!!

MM, I used a couple demos and settled on Noise Ninja a couple years ago.

It's inexpensive. You can download it, and it installs as a Photoshop plug-in.

Nice shots Magnum the action photos of the mergansers are great, the last shot of the eagle stands out also.

Sounds like they are headed this way - keep them coming.

[Dotch]

Like 'em all. Always great to see what we've got to look forward to although we usually have to go to the neighbors deeper pond to see mergansers. If they come soon, hope they packed their ice skates!

[LaXCarp]

Great looking pictures. Everyone keep their eyes peeled for all kinds of waterfowl in the next few weeks. Last week on the mississippi i saw: hooded and common mergansers, buffleheads, goldeneyes, northern pintails, shovelers, mallards, ringnecks, canvasbacks, and possibly a lesser scaup.

[Steve Foss]

Hey LaXCarp, I can't wait. It's all going to break loose up here pretty soon. Sounds like the Mississippi and backwaters already are full up to the gills with birds.

I'm a LaCrosse native. Know any Jaekels down there? Every one of them is a rellie.
