"Stay Away" is the title. This is a male Hooded Merganser duck . it is the smallest of three Merganser species. I watched the male and female for a few hours. They are somewhat loners and don't seem to run with the other duck types. I found this little guy under a tree near a pond nestled in some leaves. He was with the female. They never seem far apart.
