You can keep your noble Eagles and dashing Kingfishers, I’ve been enchanted by this beautiful female Hooded Merganser.
I fell in love with her the moment I saw her sitting on the shore shyly looking back at me.
Taking note of my presence, she merely turned her head to ensure I had seen her full beauty
I sensed from her noble look and slow, mannered retreat that this was truly my Lady of the Lake where her full beauty became even more obvious.
