In the non-breeding season, Common Merganser all look pretty much like females. Not a bad look though – more attractive than the male breeding plumage, I think. It might be about time for HBW to document this split as well … not sure why they do not update this. Maybe they are not that much into birds?

In Costa Rica, the sole tropical breeding albatross is a rare visitor to pelagic waters of the Pacific. A more surefire way to witness this long-winged bird is by visiting breeding grounds on the Galapago Islands. Two are pelagic species, two are resident, and the other one is a mystery.

This often applies in animal behavior and ecology, and this often comes about in relation to predator pressure.
