This exquisitely painted sculpture is an exact reproduction of the artist's original carving. You will be impressed by the intricate detail of this rendition right down to the realistic feathering. The Male Hooded Merganser has a black head, neck, and back, and white under parts with two black bars on side of breast. Flanks are red-brown. Distinct crest shows large white patch when raised and white stripe extending backwards from the eye when lowered. Eyes are bright yellow. Wings are dark with white shoulder patches visible in flight. Female is duller with bushy brown crest, gray upper breast and flanks and white markings on wings. Juvenile is similar to female but may lack crest. These birds breed and winter in the Great Lakes region, eastern Canada, and the Pacific Northwest. Preferred habitats include small forest pools, millponds, swamps, and beaver ponds. Bought as a gift or added to your collection you will not be disappointed. We guarantee
