The male Hooded Mergansers were out in force last Sunday afternoon cursing the pond and showing off to whoever was in the area and in this case the most interested observer was a male Redhead duck, not a female Merganser.
Hi Vicki, we hope to get more photos of the Redheads but they seem to come and go very quickly so keep your fingers crossed. Hope your doing well and having a great week.
Hi Shannon, the Redhead was indeed a party crasher. He keep following these courting hoodies around the pond. I think he was trying to figure out what all the head bobbing was about.
thank you for the photo of the Redhead duck. we have Hooded Mergansers, but I’ve never seen the Redhead..
