About this print

No small duck makes an entrance like a hooded merganser drake. When he raises that hood it opens into a clean white fan edged in black, over chestnut flanks and the thin, fish-hunting bill of a diver found on wooded ponds and quiet rivers. He is shy, and a close look is a small reward.

This print catches the crest fully raised, mirrored in still water. It is the showpiece of the diving ducks, the one people stop in front of, and it earns a frame of its own.
