Drake and hen common mergansers sunning themselves on the Rideau River. They are one of the largest species of wild duck. They have long, thin, serrated bills designed for catching fish, which is their staple diet.

Male cardinal

Male cardinal, one of the species of songbird that stays with us year round. I wonder if he was in the running when the new Pope was elected.
