Description
I was photographing the Red-breasted Merganser and caught her with her mouth open. It was not until I was reviewing my photos afterward that I realized the Long-tailed Duck also had her mouth open.Barnegat Light, New Jersey
Canon 7D / EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS USM

Yes and no. They are technically not teeth, just "points" on their bills to assist them in eating - like teeth!

Wonderful. Two species of duck I hardly ever can see here where I live, in Spain. Lucky you!

I can't take my eyes off the Red-breasted Merganser, and that serrated bill! It's like looking into the past at a dinosaur - wow.

Fantastic shot Melissa! You captured some great behaviour, two different ducks, and the quality of the image is outstanding!
