Hooded merganser (F)
Hooded mergansers are my favorite duck to photograph in the fall season.
While I was waiting for the male Hooded mergansers to come closer, I spotted this female one caught a good-size crayfish not far away from me. She quickly swam away from me. Then she began her "de-clawing" routine, which involves shaking the crayfish violently from side to side.
Overcast late afternoon. Nov. 2021. North of Edmonton.
