First test of new Canon PowerShot SX740 HS camera. The ducks are about 53m from the center of the bridge where I took the shot.

I have no way of confirming if this is the same pair I startled earlier at the bridge, but further up the trail, a pair of hooded mergansers had settled on the brook. Spooked by my curiosity, this pair took flight as well, captured in this video: https://youtu.be/cYmHz3fD8MI

I have been visiting a pair of hooded mergansers (or more than one pair) at the spot these were fleeing from over a period of several days this week. Upon my approach to the bend of the river today, this pair took off before I was able to see them close enough for an ID. About all I can see here is that they're ducks, unfortunately.

Although I suppose there's no way of knowing for certain, this might be the same pair I saw the previous day at the exact same location (much better quality & has link to video) https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/199352341
The photo is a screenshot from a video which I did not upload.

I only realized after figuring out the ID for these shots of one individual (taken about 40 minutes after this observation) that this appears to be a flock of them. Or at least I think so, due to the white flashes in flight. https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/190061880
