Hooded Merganser arrives in our pond!

Every year, for the past 5 years I look forward to seeing the Hooded Mergansern arrive in our retention pond. It usually signifies that cool weather isn't far behind. This morning there are 5 of them

There are none out here this morning, but I did see a couple last week. They are pretty, and they sure are skittish.

Great looking fowl. But awful eating! I took one in the early season this year.

Nice shot FFF.

In case you haven't seen the weather channel lately, We have had some cold nights lately. I had to use my driver license to scrap the ice of my windows a few days ago.

So much for global warming. :r

I looks like he just came from minnesota where all is now frozen and kids are playing hockey on our lake. I should have followed that little bugger to see where he was headed!
