A fierce-looking, red-eyed sea duck wrestles an unfortunate fish into its narrow bill.

Mug shots of a male #redbreastedmerganser #bird #birdphotography

A male red-breasted Merganser is swimming toward the camera, aiming his long bill toward you. His floppy head feathers appear almost black and the wind is floofing them to the side. His "red" breast is fully visible and is outlined by a white neck and black/white body feathers.

Red-breasted Merganser
14 Mar 2024
Little Compton, RI

Year in review: #41

The harbor in Little Compton is home to mergansers all winter long, along with occasional loons and eiders.

A male Red-breasted Merganser has a green head with a spiky do, offset by red eyes and a long narrow red bill. There is a white-ring on the neck and a mottled light red breast. The back is black, sides are white and lower-decks are patterned gray and white. There is a lot going on here.

A female Red-breasted Merganser is taking a bath. There are water droplets everywhere.

I visited the Oregon Coast a couple days ago, and encountered this Red-breasted Merganser. This appears to be a female (immature males look similar, but not this time of year). They will head to the arctic to breed in the summer.
