These Hooded Mergansers were photographed on a nearby pond. They were not very eager to have their photos taken, so this was the best I could do.

The ponds near our home and the lake are full of ducks at present, many of them looking for nesting sites. We've seen Hooded Mergansers, Common Mergansers, Redheads, Buffleheads, Blue-winged Teal, American Coots, Mallards and probably some others I've forgotten. This pair of Ring-necked Ducks was on the pond just down the street from where we live.

Thought I'd add another bird, photographed at Rosario Beach, part of Deception Pass State Park. Was there briefly this spring and saw a number of these near the tide pools there. Interestingly, the scientific name for this species, Histrionicus histrionicus, refers to the fact that they are made up like an actor.

I could not resist this one. A stupid picture, but every time I see it the poem runs through my head. Behold the duck. It does not cluck. A cluck it lacks. It quacks. It is specially fond Of a puddle or pond. When it dines or sups, It bottoms ups. -Ogden Nash Photographed in Stanley Park, Vancouver: ronaldhanko-orchidhunter.blogspot.com/2011/01/stanley-par... .

This was taken on the grounds of the conference center in Pahang where we stayed while in Malaysia. The picture is slightly overexposed, but I liked the effect. The ducks are Lesser Whistling Ducks, Dendrocygna javanica. Thanks to Barbol for the id.
