HOODED MERGANSER (M&F Pair)

Out on the kayak on the Thornapple River. I was parked on the bank and these two glided in for a water landing.

everyone should love this duck hooded merganser

Very distant bar-tailed godwit feeding at Seal Sands in continuous heavy rain. Also seen two female long-tailed duck, about 7 red-breasted merganser, common gulls, and many, many, oystercatcher. teesbirds

I think this is a Red-breasted #Merganser (female or immature male), resting on a bed of see weeds. Today under the Verrazano Bridge #birdwatching #BirdsOfTwitter #BirdsSeenIn2024

Male hooded merganser

Instead of just doing a Howard-in-Angela-armor, I decided to have a bit of extra fun with it and to make her unique, I modeled her after the female Common Merganser! They’re native to much of the US and Europe and have a reddish-brown head that reminded me of her hair 🙂

A conservation success & new additions!
 
We are celebrating a conservation milestone – the hatchings of Edwards’s pheasants and red-breasted merganser chicks, both are first-time hatchings for the Zoo.
