Impressing Mrs. Hooded Merganser
Chris took this photo with the new camera. It's very similar to a photo that won the GBBC photo contest last year.

This pair of Red Bellied Woodpeckers came by the morning of the great backyard bird count.

Mr and Mrs Merganser
This pair of hooded mergansers has been coming by every day since the lake thawed. We are hoping for merganser ducklings in the spring.

About us
For those of you visiting this site who do not know us, we thought we would offer a brief explanation of how it all happened. We have lived in several different states, including Connecticut, New Hampshire, California, Virginia, and currently New Jersey. The house we rent sits right on a small lake, so we initially saw lots of geese and some mallards, rather mundane yet enjoyable. There seemed to also be an abundance of woodpeckers, and we started putting suet out for them. Mike frequently gets up early, and while working from his desk in the window this past fall, he noticed something other than geese on the lake. At first it started with a Pied-billed grebe, and then we also saw briefly a Wood Duck or two, a few Ring-necked ducks, Bufflhead, and then the gorgeous Hooded Mergansers. Well, we’ve fed birds before at other homes, but we’ve never lived on water, and we were especially fascinated by the beauty of the Hooded Mergansers. We have two grown daughters and a son-in-law who still live in California (lucky kids) and family sprinkled around Connecticut, and we were constantly e-mailing them pictures of the birds and ducks, so we decided it would just be easier to put them up on the web to share. We are not real die-hard birders, and we have no formal photography training. The binoculars and camera we use are shown above. We’re just a couple who is enjoying the birds and waterfowl of their own backyard and wanted to share them. So, you may find more professional pictures somewhere else, but we hope you enjoy our site as well.The Information Dirt Road
