Although it was very overcast today, I did go over to the park for maybe an hour. Several Red-breasted Mergansers had arrived on the pond which is a new species for the park.I stood for quite a while hoping they would finally raise their head but they moved around on the pond with their head tucked.
I got tickled at the one lone Ring-necked duck. Not sure if it thought the black heads of the RBMs were one of its own or it was just hanging around with them.
Finally as I was leaving and crossing the bridge across the pond, I looked down and one of the mergansers was up however at that point I was fairly far off.
Hopefully they will stick around at least one more day since the sun is suppose to be out tomorrow.
