Correction:Rick Knight pointed out to me that my April 3rd posting/photo of the 7 Red-breasted Mergansers wereactually female Hooded Mergansers. I originally wrote down Hooded Mergansers in my journal, but after studying themale in the creek with the females and returning home to compare a male non-breeding Hooded with a male non-breeding Red-breasted,I concluded they were Red-breasted based on internet comparison photos and my Sibleys. This was a tricky ID for me! Any suggestions tohelp sort them out in the future are welcome. Michele Sparks Bluff City
