Above are three recent photographs of Red-breasted Mergansers taken by my British Columbia birding acquaintance and avid photographer Dave Kemp.  The photos were taken at Terra Nova Park, west of Richmond B.C., on the southern shore of the southern branch of the Fraser River, which empties into the Salish Sea.  The park is right across the river from Vancouver International Airport.   The north branch of the Fraser also empties into the Salish Sea on the north side of the airport.   Tomorrow's blog entry will feature three more merganser photos from Terra Nova.   Many thanks to Dave Kemp for sharing these photos.

Please comment if you wish.
