The Torrent Duck was on top of my "most wanted" list down here. To me they are just one of the absolute coolest duck species! They live in these insane rushing rivers and fearlessly plunge themmselves into the water after their prey (small fish). Last week I headed up to the cold and soggy highlands and spent 3 full days to try to track one down. Here in Ecuador they are actually kind of difficult to find and are very shy. So I was very happy to come across this fella and get a few images to take home.
