This is a pair of Hooded Mergansers that flew in and landed on a large patch of open water in the lagoon at Inglewood Bird Sanctuary on March 17th. You have to love her hairdo and his wonderful white crest edged in black. This can be raised, as in this image, or lowered. He looks quite spectacular in his breeding plumage.
