I've seen Hooded Mergansers a number of times at the Quarry Pond very near our house (see photo at the end of this page). Today (3/4/2023) we were treated to catching one of them catching breakfast. I thought it merited its own page. As you can see in this first shot they often hang out in a part of the pond that is protected by vegetation.

This is the view we see every morning when we walk the dog before breakfast. The day before taking the photos above we had spotted the Hooded Mergansers on the morning dog walk, so returned the following day with the big camera.
