Common Merganser
Common Merganser (Mergus merganser)
This species is larger than the red-breasted merganser, and is one of the largest of our ducks. It is one of the last to migrate South, and is more common than the red-breasted merganser on inland waters.
Flocks move in "follow the leader" style, low over the water. The only call seems to be a startled croak.
