Hoodie & The Fish

A male hooded merganser with a fish in his mouth in Long Lake at Ridgefield National Wildlife Refuge in Ridgefield, Washington on December 23, 2013. Original: _7D_7363.CR2

I spent the morning sitting still at the edge of Long Lake and was rewarded when a small group of hooded mergansers swam in close to feed. There’s a sign hanging above a culvert that blocks part of the view of this section of the lake, but thankfully for me this male surfaced in plain view with a fish in his mouth.
