Courting Hooded Merganser Duck Sculpture
Loon Lake Decoy
11.5"L x 5" x 7"W
Handcrafted resin sculpture of a Courting Hooded Merganser duck painted in the duck's natural colors, the
realistic reproduction is cast from courting hooded merganser duck's original wood carvings and include a
certificate of authenticity.
As the smallest of the three occurring Mergansers in North America the Hooded Merganser is also the only one
to be completely confined to this continent. These unique diving ducks are clumsy but quick flyers as they take
off by running on the water. You can also see this diver in its exceptional form of landing by “skiing” the water in
order to slow itself down to a complete stop. Although this waterfowl may be a bit clumsy at times it is a great
diver and it can actually change the refractive properties of its eyes to enhance its underwater vision to help its
feeding habits.
Loon Lake Decoy Company has recreated this beautiful bird in its “Courting Hooded Merganser” with great
detail seen through the large white crest on the back of its head. This is a great item to help add color and a
touch of wildlife to any decorative situation for your Lake Cabin, home, or office.
