Hood Up

A male Hooded Merganser swims right in front of me as I laid on the ground along the edge of the pond. I arrived a bit before sunrise to see this fella as well as about 10 other Hoodies on the pond so it was very enjoyable to watch them swim about and interact for almost an hour before this guy swam close to me for this photo. They kept me entertained all morning long. Taken at Palmyra Cove Nature Park in southern New Jersey. via 500px RayHennessy http://ift.tt/1NSnGhF
