Observation details

Female. White throat and chin patch, brown head with shaggy crest, red/orange bill and feet, grey body. Merganser bill. Initially seen on a branch, then in the water, and then diving. Common Mergansers have been occasionally seen in the area in December, and I believe the last report was of a female. Seen by my wife and I. Pictures are digiscoped. Not great but should adequate for ID.
