In a small unfrozen corner of a rather small backwater lake, a few male Hooded Mergansers were showing off for 1 lone female. Among the hoodies were 5 Great Blue Herons fishing the only open water. Since available space was limited, the hoodies circled the herons while putting on their show. It was an awesome show indeed, although having to shoot from such a distance away, proved to only wet my appetite for more.

These animal actions are sure fantastic. You definitely have a nose for finding them.
Hi hannibal,
I really love these birds already and now with these nice displays pictures, they are just much more wonderful. You captured a very intimate moment in their life in a very good way... Thanks for sharing.
Hannibal, another instance when your timing was great at finding some awesome birds..and what a show they are putting on..that must have been something to see!! Great series!
