Elegant Hooded Merganser 🦆

This is a Hooded Merganser. What a cool duck. They are fish eaters too - a fellow carnnivore.

Fishing

It has been a while since we have photographed a Great Blue Heron. This one was fishing. 😂

A Villain?

This dude looks like a villain. I'm not even sure it's an older male, but I know it is a male Great Blue Heron. I guess to the fish see him a bad guy.

The Paparazzi Arrived?

I tried to get closer to capture a better photo - I overheard the orange bill guy say, ‘Act natural,’ but they all bolted when the paparazzi showed up!

It has been a while since we saw a American Black Duck. The males have a yellow bill. They were just floating around on this fishing pod at Garbry Big Woods Reserve.
