rference picture requested for merganser

Submitted by Lars on 01/27/2004. ( ) 204.169.120.253

can anyone point tell me where I can find a good reference picture for mountig a common merganser either flying or standing, I have a nice drake but cannot find a good picture to really get a handle on how they sit, stand, fly, etc, neck and feet placement. I checked archives but all I found is questions on eye color. thanks
