Red-breasted Merganser (Mergus serrator) with Flounder

This male red-breasted merganser (Mergus serrator), which has just caught a right-handed flounder (Pleuronectidae), is fleeing from a slaty-backed gull (Larus schistisagus). The gull eventually stole the fish from the merganser. The bird was missing its left eye, as seen here.
