I took these photographs of a male Red-breasted Merganser bathing in the Saugatuck River while I was on the Westport Library Riverwalk in Westport, CT this past week.

This bird continued bathing for quite some time, kicking up sprays of water as he did so. Then he'd swim a few feet away, and start all over again. He was at a long distance from me, so it was hard to get in focus photos of him.

I took this photograph of a male Mallard Duck while I was on the Westport Library Riverwalk in Westport, CT this past week. Unfortunately the water was dirty looking beneath him.
