Hooded Merganser

Hooded mergansers are certainly one of Nature's marvels! The drake is able to completely change his appearance by raising his crest, displaying a spectacular "hood" and looking completely different from the duck he was just a few seconds before. Mergansers are relatively small and are the only endemic North American fish-ducks. They are quite shy, secretive and retiring but if you are fortunate enough to spot one you too might understand some of the colloquial names bestowed upon these beautiful creatures: Cottonhead, Fuzzhead, Wirecrown, Hairycrown, Fan-crest, Mosshead, Frog Duck.
