Infrequent visitors to the marsh


Another unusual sighting this morning was these two Common Mergansers on the stream next to the marsh proper. I believe the one on the right is an adult female, while the one on the left is a juvenile, but whether male or female I'm not sure, as apparently the sexes look similar at that stage in their development. I've seen the Commons here before, but only occasionally.
