Nature Walks – Meet Mrs. Merganser

I am seeing a lot of my Hooded Mergansers again. They are starting to come back for the season. They are beautiful water fowl. I mostly see the males, and they are noted for their gorgeous “hoods” and colors.

I see the females too, but not as often. Today, I got some great shots of Mrs. Merganser. Usually she is pretty shy. But today, she was posing for the camera. It’s hard to believe these are the same species because they are so different, but they are.
