This one is the female and the rest are males.
An optimist is someone who figures
that if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it's the bluebird of
happiness. ~Robert Braul

In The Hood
A few days ago, we spotted a group of Hooded Mergansers. I was so excited, because I have never seen any before! Too bad that we had to idle on the side of a busy highway to snap them, with cars racing by. This is why the pictures are not the best, plus they were a decent distance away. We had to leave way before I was ready.

How exciting to see these. I would have been too chicken to stop to get the pictures. Good for you getting them.
Terrific! I think you accomplished getting very GOOD photos!
they are beautiful, but not sure they look like blue birds of happiness. ha ha… great shot stolen from the side of a busy road...
I would have been shaking with excitement at seeing something I had not seen before. LOVE that quote.
You captured them really well and I learned about a duck I never heard of before. Thanks for stopping and taking the pictures.
They are adorable! I think you got many good photos of them :-)
Ginny - how in the world did you even know what they were? Hooded Mergansers? They were pretty - I think the photos were good. Love the quote.
They are so cute!!
These are beautiful birds. I hope you get a chance to spend more time with them.
The males are more striking.
I would be excited too and you got some great shots. They are such an interesting looking bird.
You should make a book out of all your interesting photos! Gary and I often pull off the road to get a good shot. But we miss a lot too... I have a feeling you don't miss many ;-)
I don't think we have those here. It reminds me a little bit of the Goldeneyes that we do have here, though.
