This is 1 of 3 posts of photographs I took at Sherwood Island State Park close to sunset in Westport, CT this past week.This male Hooded Merganser was separate from a larger group, then started swimming to catch up with them. Unfortunately all of my other photos came out blurry.
This is my entry for the following:
Wild Bird Wednesday #73
Lots of lovely things going on in this photo--golden color, reflections, movement in the water. And when I saw this waterbird I thought of costume ball for some reason--one of those fanciful old ones where people wore masks made of bird feathers! :-)
ReplyDeleteBut it sure is one fabulous shot! Such a handsome guy, and you got a great reflection too!
ReplyDeleteThe Merganser is beautiful and the color of the water is amazing. Great photo.
ReplyDeletehoodies are very cool looking birds - both drake and hen. :)
ReplyDeleteI love the Hoodies, they are handsome ducks! Great shot!
ReplyDeleteWhat a little beauty!
ReplyDeleteI love the golden reflections in the water as much as the duck itself. Delightful.
ReplyDeleteWe've got some "visiting ducks" in our ponds, but I'm not sure what kind they are. This guy is very handsome!
ReplyDeleteIts just one of the worlds most iconic birds...... bloomin brilliant.
ReplyDeleteThe photo you share is absolutely stunning!!!! Anne, I'm jealous. We are supposed to have this species here in South Texas, but I have yet to spot one.
