Waterfowl reflections on the Deschutes: BWPC

Today I’m featuring photos of waterfowl reflections taken on the Deschutes River. The first picture is of a lone swan that has been hanging around Bend, Oregon for the last several weeks.

Here’s a pair of common mergansers taking off along the Trout Creek trail, north of Madras.

Here’s a pair of hooded mergansers in Bend, Oregon.

This is a Barrow’s goldeneye in Bend, Oregon.

This is a Western grebe seen near Sunriver, Oregon.

This female mallard followed me for a long time when I kayaked the Deschutes near Sunriver, Oregon.

The Deschutes River is 252 miles long and there are lots of opportunities to capture images of waterfowl reflections. I hope to see many more of them soon!
