" oh Mickey you're so fine, you're so fine you blow my mind, hey Mickey "  (Toni Basil)

got these a little while back. I have to say, for me the hooded merganser has been the toughest duck to get a decent picture of.

while I collected hundreds of wood duck and mallards pix this season the mergansers stopped by for less than a week before migrating on, and while they were here they always seem to hang back.

 

I was glassing the drakes at sunset and then moving sets after dark wearing chest waders in an attempt to surprise one. well I did mange to get a couple of decent pix but man did I have to work for them.
