I think this is a female hooded Merganser ( ? )
This is on a pond about 15 min from where I work. I love to walk the trails after a stressful day at work. Bonus, if there is something to take a photo of.
It was so windy the lily pads were all half blowing / tipped in the water.
If anyone has suggestions on how to get my photos on water to turn out clearer, I'd love any advice.
