Female Red-Breasted Merganser walking to edge of water

This Female Red-Breasted Merganser is walking to the edge of the water with her ragged crest raised. This duck is one of the quickest fliers, able to reach 100 miles per hour. In order to take off on this rapid flight, they flap and run across the water or land. I suppose this one is close enough to the water to walk.
