Single Malts - and other odd Musings

Hooded Merganser - Lophódytes cucullátus

The two wary mergansers beyond the Canada Goose caught my eye - and as wary as they are I decided to go with as much 'zoom' as my camera could give me while I tried to catch a few reasonable photographs without moving closer to the waters edge.  They were both diving for fish and resurfacing in different locations with their dives swift and unexpected so I caught a few empty water shots.  They definitely seemed to be a mated pair - the male with his prominent black and white head and white chest and the female with her 'bushy' reddish head.  If they did get any small fish I was not lucky enough this day to get a shot like the one in the 8 February posting 'Hooded Merganser with Fish'.
