Take one look at these Red Breasted Mergansers and you'll understand why we call them punk rockers. The hair on the back of their heads is just plain wild. While it's true that both the male and the female sport this wild look I think the male is definitely the best looking of the two. Other than their crazy hairdo these Red Breasted Merganser are claimed to be the fastest in level flight and reach speeds of 100 mph. How's that for a fast quacker!
Note how the water just beads up on their feathers.

More absolutely beautiful shots. These ducks are one of my favorite species. I like video of them flying, but it is very hard to get.
