Twins: Synchronized Swimming.

Posted this in Avian and had a couple of comments suggesting it might be appropriate here so here it is.

Must confess I've only been looking at Avian lately so completely missed this challenge...

Amazing shot, Ed! Are those kingfishers? The pose is remarkable enough, but the silver light on the waves pushes this over the top.

Thanks Stan.

They're red breasted mergansers. I like that I could see their eyes as they swam around looking for fish. The silver light is cortesy of the endless clouds and rain we've been having here in SW BC for far too long now.
