If ever a duck was meant to epitomize the rock star world, it would be this female hooded merganser. Her head feather are just wild and look at her eyes. You can actually see what could be misconstrewed as heavy black mascara LOL!! It took me a long time to get this photo because Hooded Merganser's are diving ducks and she kept staying out of my zoom view range. Then magically yesterday, she was near shore like the other ducks. I should have gone out and bought a loto tickets!!LOL!!

Thanks! Would you believe that I haven't been able to get another photo of her because she hasn't been near the shore since. You should see this duck when the head feathers are wet. She looks like a rock star who just got out of the shower. LOL
