Hooded Mergansers (Lophodytes cucullatus)

Posted by Russ Devan (New Hanover, United States) on 10 February 2008 in Animal & Insect.

This image was made over a year ago during a morning walk around Deep Creek Lake, which is one of the lakes at Green Lane Park. I managed to pull in these beautiful birds with a 2x teleconverter attached to my telephoto lens and a monopod to steady the camera. Enjoy.

Thanks for stopping by.
