Baby hooded mergansers. Hooded merganser duck in the tree. Females get their own elegance from their cinnamon crest. Hooded Mergansers are fairly common on small ponds and rivers, where they dive for fish, crayfish, and other food, seizing it in their thin, serrated bills. They nest in tree cavities; the ducklings depart with a bold leap to the forest floor when only one day old. I am very passionate about wildlife and nature photography.
