20081111 081 Hooded Merganser SERIES.jpg

Andrew Hayden Park, Ottawa

Three images of Hoodies catching dinner. (That's a first for me.) In the first two images, it seems as though the little fishes are jumping through the male's open beak. In the last, the female is seen struggling with her catch.

Magnifique série ! I seems that you won't have a very big lunch ;o) I love those birds. With the wood duck, I think they are the most beautiful ducks. ^V^
