Stephen > I tried to isolate the female hooded merganser here, but it was quite difficult.  She stayed close to her mate.  The male is doing a quick head spin it looks like.  You can also see how much smaller these hooded mergansers are compared to the other duck in the background.  Las Colinas (Irving), Texas, November 2008
Stephen > The mergansers at a pond in the Las Colinas area of Irving were quite skittish.  After taking a few images of this one, it quickly took flight to avoid my prying lens.  Irving, Texas, November 2008
Stephen > The various ponds around the Las Colinas area just west of Dallas are known to play host to a nice variety of ducks during migration and winter.  Here I found a male hooded merganser at sunset.  Irving, Texas, November 2008
