.......aw geeeze .... it's the German in me that made me spell MERGANZER
like that... so before you'all get your tails in a knot (sp?) i of course
mean
COMMON MERGANSER.... (had to type that twice, force of habit makes me hit Z)

>I would like to share my delight in noting that the COMMON MERGANSER is is
UNCOMMONLY SPECTACULAR in breeding plumage! This observation came courtesy
of the newly opened Mud Bay Nature Walk (this may not be the right name,
but it's the location) where male and female Common Merganser along with a
host of other bird life were taking in the Sunday sun.
