There were a lot of new faces on the Athabasca River today! I am not sure who this guy is, but he was having a lot of fun in the current.
This one is a Hooded Merganser with his hood down That is a sign of a contented Merganser.
This Common Goldeneye just flipped and caught a minnow head down!
Here are two more Goldeneyes
A Drake Mallard up against an ice bank
A Hen Mallard at rest
Then we have an American Wigeon.
I was wondering what these Canada Geese were picking at. It turns out the ice is covered with very small flying insects.
