Goosanders, Gadwall

The cold snap is beginning to kick in, with low temperatures, but calm and clear, usually sunny weather .  A pair of Goosander were once again swimming close to the road, passing a Grey Heron that was standing nearby.  On the reserve, the pair of Gadwall showed, but they're not easy to capture; they always seem to be a little too far away and partially obscured.
