Duck on the Water! by rickster549

Duck on the Water!

Tried to look this one up, but did not find it, so if anyone knows what it is, please comment. Just the lone duck out in the lake.
love his markings - would love to come across one of these!

This is a male Hooded Merganser. They can move those head feathers up and down so look different at different times.

Handsome fellow with his dark feathers and impressive head attire. The water created an excellent consistent pattern all around him.

I don't know what it is, but it looks arrogant! Love the patterns in the water framing it.

I was hoping Anne would identify him - thought from pictures I've seen here on 365 that this might be a Hooded Merganser, but not sure of my birds that well yet.

@milaniet @annepann @irene111 @lyndemc @bill_fe @milaniet Thanks all. Thanks Anne for identifying this one. I'll keep my eyes out for this one to get a little bit better shot. It is really a neat looking bird.
