More Mergansers
More of the hooded mergansers from the lake behind our State Capitol. I am so happy to learn that these are year-round residents here, though this is the first year I've seen them. More information may be found at allaboutbirds.org.

Grat photography! I'm not sure if I've ever seen a hooded merganser! They are very interesting looking, aren't they? Great post.
Looks like some kind of wooing is going on.
Great captures!
pretty
I've seen lots of pictures of these ducks and have taken a few myself,but these are the best I have seen.
FABULOUS shots! clear as a bell!
Oh I love their hairdo's! The detail in these images are incredible, fantastic capture's Gail. Happy Friday!
These shots are so good looking. The color scheme of these ducks is marvelous.
Great shots of these beauties.
What beautiful ducks! I think I've only seen this type in pictures. Nice shots!
Oh, I didn't know they lived there year round! Lucky you!
You always find the coolest looking birds.
Wow, they kind of look like space aliens!
What a cutie !!! Nice choice for the week indeed !
I always thought the wood duck was my favorite, until I saw a hooded merganser. It is really an incredible bird!
I am loving these ducks with their convertible tops. Dianne
Oh I LOVE THAT QUOTE by Garth Brooks. So true. I have my awesome family so I am indeed wealthy. wow.
Thanks for your awesome (((hugs))) today. You are sooooo cool and I love you, I do! ♥
doh, i'm rude!
This little duck is so fun but it is the way you photograph water, that just blows me away!!!!!!!
oh they are so adorable and i adore those cute popping tail feathers on what i assume?? is the male!!
i wonder if those "do's" require hair gel?? hehe
awesome photography!!
such colourful ducks... I've never seen it before... Lovely shots...
I was going to ask if that was a crest or if their heads are shaped that way. And then I saw the photos of them with their crests down. Very impressive bird. Great shots, my friend.
Wonderful shots, Gail. I have only seen these guys a few times and never real close, so I'm very much enjoyed your fine images.
Your photos of those ducks are so striking. I have also browsed though your quotes, favorite things and 101 things. Found you via Dianne at Sshmidkeysscriblins and plan to return for a longer visit. Have a great weekend.
What a beautiful colorful ducks!
Nice weekend, greetings Irma
You captured their beauty perfectly, Gail.
They make a cute couple :)
I just love these cute Hooded Mergansers! Great shots! Happy weekend!
geweldig wat is de natuur toch mooi.
Some or I dare say most of your bird pictures are of birds I haves not seen so your photos are not only beautiful but educational as well.
These ducks are so pretty.
I like the Garth Brooks quote.
One of my favorite ducks! These are beautiful photos!
Great shots of these beautiful birds!
Das sieht ja lustig aus, als hätten sie Ohrenklappen auf.
Schönes Wochenende
wünscht die Waldameise
Wonderful captures of the Hooded Mergansers.
Gail, thank you for linking up to my Saturday's Critter party! Have a happy weekend!
very pretty shots !
What incredible images of these amazing birds!
Here I am quite envious of Gail.!
what a great beautiful pictures of a very special duck.
In the Netherlands these beautiful ducks out.
Oh, they are beautiful. Next time I pass through that part of Louisiana, I'll look for them.
Fabulous photos of these beautiful birds.
I never did see the female when we spotted our first and only merganser...maybe I'll have to come back to Louisiana (I would love to actually for that and many other reasons).
I'm enjoying your quotes -- unlikely sources sometimes but always great!
I agree with Valerie - they look like ducks gone wrong! Great shots!
I love these birds and your photos Gail.
Wow, what incredible birds. Hope you're well.
These are awesome impressive ducks and photos!

Such interesting looking birds and your beautiful captures are always so inspiring!
They are so unique! Beautiful shots!
oh pooh - i could have swore i commented on this post ... weird? maybe some one else has a similar bird - it looks so familiar??
hi there - hopped over from "Saturday's Critters". nice to meet ya. (we are already good friends, though.) hope you are having a good weekend!! ( :
Oh, they are so lovely.
Wonderful shot
Have a nice week :)
Beautiful! I saw some of these guys as I started my ferry ride north of Seattle yesterday but wasn't able to photograph. These are great. I especially like the fourth one down because it's so flattering of the couple.
I would love to see these birds in person!!
Very beautiful and fascinating birds.
Beautiful!!! I especially liked the one of the female looking directly into the camera lens and the male with its tail straight up!!!
The Merganser is beautiful!! Never seen this type of duck. Guess when his "hoodie" is up, he's showing off to his female friend?? Lovely shots Gail!!
Great shots - the head crests on the Mergansers are splendid.
We do get of this sort of "duck" in Australia.
Just found out I will be in Arizona for a week in about a month - time for a few American ticks!
Cheers - Stewart M - Melbourne
Handsome ducks, beautifully photographed. The male is stunning, but I really like the subtle hues of the female.
