One of my birding stops today provided nice views of a male Hooded Merganser. It was hanging out with some Mallards along the Fox River in Waukesha. A few times it dove for something to eat and came up with a crayfish. The weather was misty with a few flurries mixed in, mild temps around 35 degrees with no wind. Images were taken on January 24, 2020.

A nice pose…
Wow! You did it again.
Unbelievable shots! Those designs with the river’s reflections are so beautiful. I want a poster of the that stare! Thank you so much. Always a great way to start my day.
Wow! What a beautiful bird! What beautiful pictures!
Is there a Pulitzer prize for wonderful photos? Thanks so much. Have been searching for the Meganser today but thought I saw you looking for the Albino squirrel.
Extraordinary photos of such a gorgeous duck!
Great photos. Thank you for sharing your experiences with us.
