Hooded Merganser with Oversized Snack
Shot this guy at a wildlife refuge in East Arkansas from my homemade wooden skimmer thing with wimberley head attached. I was hiding on the bank and this extremely wary fellow started swimming toward me. He got just outside my shooting range and dove. When he surfaced, he was within about 15 feet with his catch! He heard the shutter going off, eyeballed me (thus giving a good HA), and immediately flew off. A little challenging to keep the focus dot on his head since my viewfinder kept fogging up from my breath, but I was happy with it. This is FF except leveling.
