Description
Hooded Merganser - Original Photography by Karol Livote
This is a male Hooded Merganser. It is the smallest native North American merganser. It is an excellent diver and feeds on fish, crustaceans, aquatic insects and other animals and plants. He is monogamous and a solitary nester. The population was in decline but now is increasing due to nest boxes that are intended for them and the wood ducks.
I captured this guy swimming in a park in Bridgeport, Connecticut.
