Looks like someone is putting on a show.
Mating season means showing off and this Male Hooded Merganser is doing a fine job of letting the other males on the pond know he’s got what it takes to win the ladies over. Denver, CO.

Beautiful. Magnificent and magical
Thanks Vickey, I love watching the hoodies.
Love these beauties. Great shot, Mike.
Thanks Jane, the hoodies are so fun to watch.
I’ve never seen this before…looks great!
Hi, these ducks are sure fun to watch. The males bob their necks up and down and then hold them up as high as they can to demonstrate top male status. They also make noises and dance around while doing so to show of to the females. Fun stuff. Hope you are hissing a great day.
Sounds a bit like people on a booze-fuelled night out! 😀
Indeed, could be mistaken for a college part.
So interesting!
Thanks Eliza. Hoodies are a sight.
