The hairstyle of this female Hooded Merganser duck (Lophodytes cucullatus) and the electric blue of the sky reflected on the water somehow brought back my memories of growing up in the 1960’s.
Imagine my surprise a bit later when I learned that another one of the female Hooded Mergansers was a huge fan of Chubby Checker and she demonstrated for me her own version of The Twist.

What a great pairing, and such fun commentary. Thanks for the morning smile.
It’s always fun for me to think about what to say about my photos. In this case, I was feeling a little whimsical when I was reviewing my photos of the Hooded Mergansers, which are so photogenic that I took lots of shots. It’s great to start the day with a smile–glad I could help.

Great capture and captions, Mike.
Thanks, Dan. For what it’s worth, I really did grow up in the 60’s. π
outstanding images mike!
Thanks, Rob.
Great photos and captions, Mike! You made me laugh right our loud with this one. I had one particular male friend in high school who used to slick his hair back so it looked like your first photo!!! How I loved growing up in the sixties. Thanks for a great post π .
I remember Chubby!
Far out, man! π
