I spent a couple hours along a creek close to home late this afternoon. I caught  this hooded merganser lazily floating down the creek. The first shot really seems unremarkable; the thing I found interesting is we can see his tail feathers fanned out on the surface of the water.

These are funny little ducks; with their seemingly large head they bear a striking resemblance to  an alien in Star Trek!
