These two Hooded Mergansers were swimming all over the place at the little pond by the bridge at Wiley Park. They are such a stunning bird with bright yellow eyes. And look at that reflection! Have you ever seen a Hooded Merganser?

What gorgeous birds!
Fun Fact: Females often lay their egg clutches (averaging 13 eggs) in tree cavities as high as 50 feet off the ground. The eggs hatch 26-41 days after being laid. Hatchlings leave the nest within 24 hours by jumping to the ground and walking as much as a mile together to find water.
