Out and about today in the on/off rain and found this fellow swimming around in the flooded timber. A first for me. Am I right that it is a Hooded Merganser and not a Bufflehead?

You're right bronco, and a nice shot of him to boot.

Gorgeous photo of a male Hooded Merganser.  I love when they tilt their heads back and let loose with a whirring sound, sounds like a running blender.  :D
