Birds

This morning I walked down to the river behind my house and found these two sitting on a perch talking with each other.

I guess they were having a nice conversation because they sat there for a long time while other birds were swimming passed and flying passed.

When I got down to the river there was a whole flock of these birds swimming.  Most of them flew off but this one stayed.  He would dive and stay under water for a long time.  I would watch him dive and then he would turn up about 20 or 30 feet away.  I guess he was catching fish but I didn’t see him eating any.
