Hooded Merganser
Observation details
This is a continuing group. The other day I reported 56 at the same location. They are very hard to count because they dive en masse. The actual number could be larger. Unmistakeable small duck with unique hood on both sexes and small narrow bill, the smallest of the Mergansers.
