A very stunning image, Jim; quite dramatic with the raised crest, and the open bill. The bluish wake from the Merganser, and the reflection,
look so nice, as well.

Wonderful brown tones throughout with a super complementary background, Jim! And the display is exceptional.

A very nice behavioral shot of the display of a first year bird. I've photographed Hooded Mergansers a lot but I think this is the first time I've seen such a nice image of a first year bird displaying.
