Common Merganser Female (Mergus merganser)

Mergansers are not common by any means from what I see here in southern Michigan. By far, the type I see most often are Hooded Mergansers, so it was good to see this one fairly close.

Lake Erie Metropark, Brownstown, Michigan, USA
Date taken
March 1, 2009
Scientific name
Mergus merganser
Equipment used

Always a delight to see something unusual locally. Congrats on this sighting and great capture!
