I`ve been chasing this lone male around the marsh for several day, trying to get close enough for some decend images, and when I arrived on the outing, there he was, sleeping about 40 feet off shore.

Thanks for the nice comments, guys !
Sorry, I should have said, female, because that`s what it is.
I had just finished working on a card full of Male Hooded Mergansers, when I posted these ones.

A "senior moment", perhaps, lol.
