This duck can raise a spectacular fan-shaped crest in an instant.
The Hooded Merganser is a small diving duck found across North America. It hunts underwater for fish, crayfish, and aquatic insects, using its thin serrated bill to grip slippery prey. When excited or threatened, it spreads its large crest into a striking black-and-white fan.
