A male hooded merganser glides past his perching mate. The male's hood is not erect probably because there were no other males around and no other females to compete for. So, basically, an old married guy. The lady still looks very elegant IMO. Alexandria, Virginia, USA 12DEC2024. #birds #birdphotography #BirdsOfMastodon #naturephotography

How about some northern pintails? I enjoy seeing these as they are migratory and less common than mallards. Looks like four males and one female if I'm not mistaken. Alexandria, Virginia, USA 3DEC2024. #birds #BirdsOfMastodon #birdphotography #naturephotography

It's Monday and time for many to get back to work! This male downy woodpecker shows he's been hard at work with wood chips and straw on his face. Reminds me of those photos one sees of coal miners with faces covered in coal dust. Alexandria, Virginia, USA 3DEC2024. #birds #birdphotography #BirdsOfMastodon #naturephotography

The wind off the pond was piercing cold this a.m. but I don't mind as long as I can get a few decent shots. Here a mallard hen is properly escorted by two drakes as they come in for a landing.

"Sometimes the light's all shinin' on me
Other times I can barely see" ... your eyes because they're black and a black-capped chickadee has, unsurprisingly, a black cap. And it's a side-lit photo and no catch-light is hitting the eyes.
