Hooded Merganser male
I wasn't going to edit and post any photos this morning, as there are things that I have to get done on a deadline, and it will take me many hours to do. Changed my mind this morning, as I wanted to post a couple of photos taken yesterday, 10 April 2018, just as a record of a three-hour walk with friends in Fish Creek Park. A dull, overcast morning, and definitely not the greatest for photography. However, I don't often get the chance to photograph either a Ring-necked Pheasant or a Hooded Merganser, both of which were a long way off, but within camera reach.
"“Hooded” is something of an understatement for this extravagantly crested little duck. Adult males are a sight to behold, with sharp black-and-white patterns set off by chestnut flanks. Females get their own distinctive elegance from their cinnamon crest. 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 nest in tree cavities; the ducklings depart with a bold leap to the forest floor when only one day old." From AllAboutBirds.
