Mide unos 20 cm de largo y tiene un plumaje negro brillante con un brillo metálico, moteado de blanco en algunas épocas del año. Las patas son rosadas y el pico es negro en invierno y amarillo en verano; Los juveniles tienen un plumaje más marrón que los adultos. Es un pájaro ruidoso, especialmente en dormideros comunales y otras situaciones sociales, con un canto poco musical pero variado. Su capacidad para imitar se ha observado en la literatura, incluido el Mabinogion y las obras de Plinio el Viejo y William Shakespeare.

The Hooded Merganser:
Spotted this Female Hooded Merganser Strutting Her Stuff after finishing a breakfast of Frog Legs alfresco. The legs were still attached to the frog, so it took her awhile to dine, but she seems to have had a Happy Ending : )
Hooded Mergansers are fairly common on small ponds and rivers, where they dive for fish, crayfish, and other food, seizing it in their thin, serrated bills. They find their prey underwater by sight. They can actually change the refractive properties of their eyes to improve their underwater vision. In addition, they have an extra eyelid, called a “nictitating membrane,” which is transparent and helps protect the eye during swimming, like a pair of goggles.
Hooded Merganser ducklings leave their nest cavity within 24 hours of hatching. First, their mother checks the area around the nest and calls to the nestlings from ground level. From inside the nest, the little fluffballs scramble up to the entrance hole and then flutter to the ground, which may be 50 feet or more below them. In some cases, they have to walk half a mile or more with their mother to the nearest body of water.
The oldest recorded Hooded Merganser was a male and at least 14 years, 6 months old when he was shot in Mississippi in 2009. He had been banded in Minnesota in 1995.

Birds of prey, or raptors, include species of bird that primarily hunt and feed on vertebrates that are large relative to the hunter.
I almost only see these colorful birds in winter. Then there are several couples who visit the bird tray every day and eat lots of sunflower seeds!
A bird in the air is pure freedom
