I watched and took photos of this Merganser (Thanks Den for the name) for a while and then it stood, performed this crazy stretch and then entered the water.
Taken Monday morning June 16 in hidden cove on the east shore of Lake Tahoe.
Thank you Martia for the proposal!! I am surprised and stunned by the proposal on this photo. To think that even one person would believe one of my photos to be worthy of the gallery makes me very happy.
Here is the series of photos shot of this Merganser entering the water.
Fine scene!

The bird liked the warmth of the stone but to catch a fish, he had to jump in the water. Well taken.

These are the special photos that capture some of the behaviours of these critters. You did well on this one! The water sets off the merganser very well.
Nice photo Archie. Who knows what that bird was thinking in it's strange stretch!

@all. Thank you all for voting and/or just taking a look at my photo. I never expected this to be recommended for the gallery, nor would I have voted pro on it for the reasons you all have stated.
Best Wishes all!!
