This afternoon at Ben Brenman park I photographed a male Hooded Merganser
trying mightily to eat something. After several flips up, drops, and
retrievals, it finally swallowed it. I suspect it was a fish, but even when
zooming in on the larger original pictures, I cannot say for certain. You
can see a sequence of pictures at:
