Hooded Merganser

My parents came up to visit the day before my birthday, and we spent the late morning and early afternoon driving around the shoreline shopping and looking for some easy birding, as the remnants of the last blizzard have made the hiking trails a bit inhospitable recently. It was quite nice out, and while I didn't get any great traditional shots of the waterfowl we found, I did get one artsy picture of a female Hooded Merganser just after she took off.
