About The Hooded Merganser finds its prey underwater by sight. The merganser can actually change the refractive properties of its eyes to enhance its underwater vision. In addition, the nictating membrane (third eyelid) is very transparent and probably acts to protect the eye during swimming, just like a pair of goggles.
In Northern California these guys are very elusive, however in Florida they behave very different, allowing you to get relatively close.
I got this one in Bella Vista Palace, Orlando, Fl.

Perfect capture of that upright stance, Yamil! Wonderful details, including the water droplets and those gorgeous eyes!
