A Red-breasted Merganser feeds close to shore and gradually swims away. I lay down on a rock and wait. The merganser turns around, busily with his head in the water and makes his way to me. He got fairly close when he picked his head up, noticed me and swam further out.

I’m getting closer to these guys.
