Shortly after sunrise this morning, with the air temperature at 5 degrees and a little wind blowing, this Hooded Merganser snugged up against a snowy river bank out of the wind and let the warming sunrays work their magic. Its coloring blends in very well with the reeds, snow and dark reflections on the water.
