Hooded Merganser

Copyright © 2013 Deborah M. Zajac. All Rights Reserved.

This is my first sighting of the Hooded Merganser! I was so excited to see both a male and female swimming around in the pond in the Children’s Zoo section of San Francisco Zoo. According to one of the staff they are free range and can come and go as they please like the gulls and Peacocks.

The female:

Nikon D700| Nikkor 70300@ 300mm| f5.6| 1/400s| ISO 400| Manual Priority| Matrix Metering| Hand-held
