It was dark and I was facing the sun’s direction when I took this, so not good lighting. It was also not close. Merlin gave me the Red-Breasted Merganser as a first choice. I think that is what it is, possibly an immature. It was skittish and stayed a distance out on the Hudson River, so I am not sure I will get another chance at getting another shot.
Have a happy Tuesday!

Beautiful photo. What a lovely, but unusual face.

I wish I could have gotten a better view of it. It was by itself. I wondered if the parents were nearby as it seems to be an immature.

It looks like a teenager to me, especially because of the top feathers “hair” 😀

Ha! Yes! I usually see ducks in small groups. This was was on its own near a marina, no other ducks or geese in sight. Typical teen.
