Winter with the Hooded Merganser
The Hooded Merganser is the most common waterfowl species on Kiawah Island during winter. They can be found in almost all of the many ponds on the Island. These small to medium-sized ducks have long narrow bills that they use to capture and eat fish. The bold black and white head crest makes males especially easy to spot.
