Hooded Merganser

Had a pretty good weekend of photography with some nice subjects.  This Hooded Merganser was easily the most cooperative one I have ever encountered...

Christopher,
Great shots. I have found the Hooded Mergansers in my area to be very leary of people and I have had limited luck in getting even a 600mm lens on them. Nice job!

Handsome portraits!! very nicely done, as are all your recent photos. Esp enjoyed the tropical birds, partly because they are so different, and because they live where it is warmer.
