Description:
Paddling along on a Maine pond, this Hooded Merganser landed in the water no more than fifteen feet away from the artist. It was as if he were deliberately posing for a portrait. A small fish-eating duck of wooded ponds, the Hooded Merganser nests in holes in trees. It is frequently seen on shallow waters where its only waterfowl companion is the Wood Duck. The Hooded Merganser finds its prey underwater by sight. The merganser can actually change the refractive properties of its eyes to enhance its underwater vision. Their breeding habitat is swamps and wooded ponds on the northern half of the United States or southern Canada.
