Nice. This bird is found only in a few location in SA. Must have been an Ecuador or Columbia trip? I saw one of these outside of Quito in the cloud forest, but never got a good shot.

Thank you very much, Mike! And yes, you are right on the money in terms of the location. It is from Ecuador alright.
This male merganser was bobbing his head up and down, while trying to impress a nearby female with his courtship skill. She didn’t show the slightest interest but instead another male merganser was approaching quietly from behind and “poked” him. The surprised expression of the first male merganser was priceless!
