A Hooded Merganser....Before I moved to Long Island, I thought ducks were just ducks....I now know better. This is a male diving duck, a Hooded Merganser. Very beautiful and very easily frightened. You can't feed these breadcrumbs. They dive for small crustaceans, and plant life, that they find underwater. I used a zoom lens for this one!
