This duck looks like a speck below the enormous mountains behind it.
I watched these Common Mergansers for a few minutes, diving and searching for food while they headed down the lake.

Ah Montana, one of these days.
People keep asking me if I won a million dollars where would I live.
I tell them Montana even though I have never been there.
Some people think Montana is all flat and boring.
They have never been to the far western portion of Montana.
Population of 1 million and 100K of that is in Missoula County. There may be a very good reason for that.
I do not know what county this is in. Though, I guess I should look up Glacier National Park.
Missoula is surround by mountains. What better way to wake up each day.
Magnificent scenery and how great to see and photograph birds in front of mountains like that.
Gorgeous mountain scenery, I love it! And the Mergansers are cute. great shots!
These are a great set of pictures – I dont get to see mountains (or ducks!) like that any more.
Cheers and thanks for linking to WBW.

I wonder if the duck know that his surrounding is magnificent. He sure is lucky to be in this place. Such a great shot!

Beautiful scenery.. I have had these ducks stop by ..fish.. nap and move on during migration. I would love to have a pair use the nesting box we have.. Great post for Nature Notes.. thank you.. Michelle
The reflections in the ripples of the water are beautiful!
Beautiful scenery.
Beautiful. The lake’s reflections, the gorgeous mountain range, the birds on the lake…[I love the movement of the ‘wake’ behind the ducks!!].
Those are magnificent mountain shots! You captures the majesty and beauty of the area wonderfully.
