Under the hood
Went to a local lake today to look for the Hooded Mergansers on this first real cold morning of the season. These extravagantly crested, extremely shy, smallest of the North American Mergansers were out in full force but managed to stay far away for the most part except for a few instances.
This male fairly aggressive guy towards other birds was the first one come close.
Hoping to go there again soon!
