June 21, 2021: Hooded Mergansers


The family of Hooded Mergansers (mom & 2 ducklings) first seen in mid-May, have been present on Pond J for a couple of weeks.  Most of the time the mother is not around, but the two juveniles seem to be doing ok on their own.  I've seen them catch and eat small fish.  This photo shows the mother with her offspring on one of the days she was present.
