Red-breasted Merganser

RED-BREASTED MERGANSER, GREEN, MICHIGAN, JUNE 10, 2013

Pentax K20D
Pentax 55-300 at 300mm

ISO 800

The image quality of this photograph isn't what I'd like—the lighting wasn't good enough to get the bird's striking red eyes—but it's the first red-breasted merganser I've seen off our beach. Most mergansers in these parts are the ubiquitous common variety. This one is a male.
