10,000 Birds

The grasslands have been popping off with breeders for well over a month, but the snow is just now giving way to lush alpine meadows and rocky tundras.

A Merganser Trifecta!

10,000 Birds

Common , Hooded and Red-breasted Mergansers all breed here, but Red-breasted is the more northerly of the group.

Hooded Mergansers however, are local breeders and can’t always be found so readily.
