Goosander (Mergus merganser)

I sometimes go out in search of something else, and I have not seen that one, instead, I found this one. I caught it in the shade, hence it looks like it has a black head instead of a green head. Still, I had photos of it. I hadn't taken one for 4 years.

  14. Bob, great captures! I love the hook on his nose! Funny how you call them Goosander and we call them Merganser. I wonder why!
