Hooded Merganser hiding behind a Mallard. Went out the other day to a local spot and got the chance to photograph a decently cooperative male Hooded Merganser. Since at times he got pretty close, I tried to get a more creative approach rather than taking the same portrait shot over and over. Liking how this picture turned out from when he swam behind a group of Mallards. #home #hoodedmerganser #sony #sonyalpha #sonya7iii #duck #birds #birdsofinstagram #wildlife #birdphotography #photography #photooftheday
