The bird is striking in appearance, both sexes have crests that they can raise or lower, and the breeding plumage of the male is handsomely patterned and coloured. The hooded merganser has a sawbill but is not classified as a typical merganser., 1700-1880, Reimagined by Gibon, design of warm cheerful glowing of brightness and light rays radiance.
