Observation details
Photos. This is undoubtedly the same bird that has been seen off and on in this stretch of the river. An immature or female, the paler head color is striking when compared to nearby Common Mergansers. Additionally, the lack of sharply defined demarkation between the neck color and breast plus the absence of a white throat patch point to Red-breasted Merganser.
