Hooded Merganser Drake... on the water and in flight.

I spent over three hours with this great little duck and came home with tons of keepers. This is just a small collection from that shoot.

Thanks a lot, Neil. I used my Canon 1D MkIII with the 500 f/4L IS. On a couple of the shots, I also had my 1.4xTC on.

I like number three. It's always neat when you can get a picture of them, flying.

Those are some of the best merganser captures I've seen.

Thanks, folks. This guy was a lot of fun to photograph. He's quite an actor.
