Hooded Mergansers Yesterday
Hooded Mergansers;I search for them each spring and yesterday I found a pair. They were not in the usual location where I find them but rather in a roadside small flooded run off near a ditch. I love the colour and intensity of the golden, yellow eyes of the male. I think these pictures are interesting but they do not reflect the beauty of the male with his beautiful white-patched hood. The female is usually spectacular with her bad hair
day fluff, however I am sure I will find these beauties in their usual location in a day or two and I shall get more pictures. Until then; these photos to enjoy!
The Hooded Mergansers are beautiful, great shots and sighting..
ReplyDeleteWe have hooded mergansers way over here on our side of the planet as well.
ReplyDeleteAnd although I am in a subtropical part of the southern Unites States, every day I see sandhill cranes - which also live in Siberia!
It's incredible how large the range is for some varieties of birds.
