Common Merganser, Male
Yesterday, this guy detected me even though I'd snuck up while he was under a dock. He'd then made made a hasty retreat, even leaving a wake!
These males are commonly mistaken for a Loon, but the mergansers are much smaller, and routinely "fish" in much shallower water than Loons. Kinda handsome, but not often seen after mating. The male Mergansers take no care of the offspring. |
