Hooded Merganser (Lophodytes cucullatus)Observer
johndreynoldsDescription
When I woke up this morning I didn't know I'd be taking a selfie with a duck. Or running after it as it tried to take off from a wet road, which they never can. Or driving one-handed to release it at the nearest body of water. Any similarity between our hair is coincidental. Rescue mission: successful! The duck is on the left.

I've never seen this behavior before. I thought it was a turtle at first glance. It stayed in this position until I had completely passed by, them emerged an flew toward the clutch observed nearby.

I never even saw the egret until I was processing this photo. I don't normally think of great egrets as small.

This little guy was enthusiastically digging in the thistle blossom for pollen/nectar. Very cute and fuzzy, and rather small for a bumble--only slightly larger than a honeybee.

davidgwhiteDescription
The first time I had ever seen this, i videoed the entire event as well from entry to exit. It was as if this species swims all the time. I sent it to a frogmouth expert and she had never seen that before. The bird chose to swim and flew away very easily after its swim. There appeared to be no explanation for the bird swimming as it was not particularly hot or anything unusual.
