merganser). Cruising jet-like
up and down waterways,

with their serrated bills,
this Merganser sports either
a vivid rust-colored crest
(female) or a iridescent green
head (male) that is a joy to
behold.
The Common Merganser
nests in hollowed-out trees,
on cliffs or on the ground,
normally on the banks of
rivers. Laying six to 17 pale

river where they immediately
begin feeding.

by sight, and therefore tend
to feed in clear waters, less

keystone predators, acting
to control the populations
of many inland fish such as
