Boy, was I surprised - and pleased - when I got this photo in my editing program and realized I had caught a pair of juvenile Hooded Mergansers, after just having seen one a few days ago. They were swimming on the marsh near some Blue-winged Teals and Black Duck juveniles. I have seen the occasional adult Hooded Merganser on the marsh, and I saw one female with a brood of chicks last year, but this is the first year I have noticed juveniles.
