Merganser -- common or red-breasted (May 2009, Maryland)?
As I confirmed the sighting of some common mergansers today, I went through some of my old photos, and not quite sure about these.
The picture was captured on 5/13/2009 at Great Falls, Maryland. I tend to think they are red-breasted, what do you think? TIA! |

C'est pas ma faute, je suis anglais.

I agree with red breasted, thinner bill, less clear demarcation between the head and neck.

I know there are slight differences between your Common Merganser and our Goosander but these look more like them than Red-breasteds.
