Special visitor @ Magic Pond today

Drake Hooded Merganser

The sun actually came out for a visit today... So instead of being inside as usual, I grabbed my camera gear and spent a couple hours at my favourite little pond.   Right away I saw a new visitor there.   Today is the 1st time I had ever seen a Hooded Merganser at this location.  What  a bright little amazing bird!   Great fun  & frustration trying to get a decent photo!!!  :)
