Hooded Merganser

Mergansers specialize in eating fish by diving and swimming underwater.   The Hooded Merganser is the smallest of the three native to North America. The male has a flamboyant oversized head.  Both sexes have a slender bill and crest that can be raised and lowered.

Look for them around wooded ponds like those at Lafitte’s Cove Nature Preserve in the winter.
