Morning Golden hour hits different on the water.

But with a high contrast bird like the hooded merganser, harmony of soft gradient gold & a hard contrast of black and white is something else to behold on a cold morning 🌅🦆

Another nesting season for #WoodDuck #AixSponsa #WODU and #HoodedMerganser #LophodytesCucullatus #HOME is chugging along at Huntley Meadows Park. We have 4 boxes with clutches incubating, and eggs in another 4 boxes. Box #62 (pictured) was replaced this year, and already has a clutch of 10 eggs, with perhaps more to come. We expect hatching in late April-early May.
