Common Mergansers are rare visitors to the Ponds. I photographed this one yesterday, out there, all by its lonesome. It is a female. Males have a black back and head. In my experience, Mergansers are one of the few species of ducks where the female is more colorful that its male counterpart (fortunately this also holds true for our own species). I am very fond of these beautiful birds.
