Hooded Merganser - Exercise Time

20191014 – Hooded Merganser - "Exercise Time!"
Brown Deer Park, Brown Deer, WI

As I am finishing my walk around the pond, near the boathouse, I thought I saw a bird on the surface dive down and come back up. As I got closer, based on coloring, I thought it was a Pie-Billed Grebe. However, when I started taking photos, I realized it was a Hooded Merganser.

If you feel I misidentified the bird, please leave me a note in the comments.
