Title: Hooded merganser in the Rouge 2.0
Post by: Shortsighted on April 06, 2023, 11:38:26 AM
Things were really quiet this morning. Mostly cloud, some sun, windy and the open water was almost empty. No Common merganser at all. One Bufflehead (male) that left after a few minutes. Even fewer geese today and none of them had pink feet. One pair of Hooded merganser swam by relatively close to shore and I concentrated on the male. Got a few frames before my shutter slap gave me away.
