We have three species of mergansers in the area, this one is the most colorful. This is a pair of Hooded Mergansers. Quite attractive birds.

Amazing how they can change colour so much as they become adult.

Your Hooded Mergansers remind me of Mandarin ducks. Not their colouring but the overall shape. I wonder if they origionate from the same part of the world?
