Hooded Merganser

Great capture, wonderful splash! Thanks for your visit and comment, much appreciated.

You're welcome Gary....Marta there was a lot of excitement at the river that day :)

I love how he raises its hood even more in the last pic! :-)

Hey Gary this was a trai by the Los Angeles River near Atwater / Los Feliz....I have marked the exact location on the map, so you can get directions to the spot.

Thanks Mark:)
