Another beautiful composition Yves with stunning reflections. I love all the bird activity, it is certainly nice to see the rivers and lakes this time of year filled with colour and activity. Well done Yves.

Not just any old nature scene, Yves. You've captured a plethora of bird activity, beautiful autumn reflections and what appears to be at least five mergansers fishing in the foreground. Such an interesting and beautiful image this is.

THank you very much Heather. This section of the river is a very good place for that kind of wide shot.

Description
In front is a group of common mergansers patroling the Magog river to catch fish or crayfish. At the base of a mini hydro dam the river is wide with shallow water. As you see the place is prefered by many waterfowls. I check them for half an hour and confirm that they patrolled the hole surface with some catch here and there.
