Lots of divers moving thru this week in western Montana.

Beautiful birds.

I’m not a photographer and my phone would not have done it justice but the last 2 weeks there’s been 50,000 divers on the river. Canvasback, hooded mergansers, common mergansers, blue bill, redheads, and more. Now they’ve moved on and the woodies, shovelers, mallards and widgeon are passing through.

Preening Canvasback. I've been seeing a pair at the same pond on my daily hikes here in MT.
