The Don King of the water ways

[BrentC]

This Hooded Merganser was way out of his habitat along the Humber river. He has picked a female mallard as a mate and was just scaring off all male mallards that came close. A birder told me he has been watching him for days and he won't leave the female mallards side. Not sure if a merganser and a mallard can produce offspring but I would love to see the result.

Nice set they should be able to produce ospring but they would be hybreds

Nice. I love #3. Is interspecies marriage legal in Canada? (Or anywhere else?)

Nice set BrentC! I think I've take photos of ducks with a similar hair style, they were brown though!
