Our smallest merganser


On Monday I was able to get close enough to get this shot of two of the hooded mergansers that are now on the marsh.  I believe the lower bird is a female as it has a yellow bill (the first year males look much like the females, but have a darker bill).  The upper bird is a male with its crest raised.  They may remain until the marsh freezes, then move to the river.
