Male Hooded Merganser - Photograph

© All Rights Reserved
This is 1 of 3 posts of photographs that I took of a Hooded Merganser couple in Fairfield, CT this past week.

In this shot, the male Hooded Merganser is actually standing on a section of ice that stretched into the middle of the water. He preened for a short time, then settled down to rest. To his dismay, the ducks swimming around him decided he had a good idea, and soon they crowded around him on the ice.

This photograph is my entry for:
