Description: The Goosander, also known as Mergus Merganser, is a fascinating water bird that frolics at the picturesque waterfall at Brooks River in Alaska. Resembling a duck in size, it skillfully dives below the water surface to hunt for fish and small crustaceans. Its hunting technique is impressive, as it can even dive from flight. Eels are particularly high on its prey list. This stunning photo captures the Goosander in its natural habitat, nestled in the wild beauty of Alaska.
Location: Alaska/Katmai, Brooks River, USA
Date of Capture: 15.09.1998
