Hooded Merganser: York County, Maine, USA, November 2023 — This little pod of Hooded Mergansers, two of which, the males, you saw yesterday, were navigating the tidal creek behind the dunes. I happened to have the camera up when they started their run up into the air and into the reflections of the autumn oaks. Wonderful little ducks!
