More Mergansers, but these are Hooded Mergansers, and that one in the lead may be a 1st year male. The other 2 are females. (yesterday's post was a Common Merganser hen) #birds #WeirdDuckSeason

The little merganser girls are so cute! We only have a few merganser visitors each winter and I start looking forward to their return as soon as they leave... #birds #WeirdDuckSeason

Perhaps you need an itching ring-necked duck? #birds #nature #photography #WeirdDuckSeason

Happy #weirdduckseason to me. I have a hooded merganser couple on my lake today and I'm celebrating by taking lots of pictures that only @theineptbirder.bsky.social could love lol.

Bonaparte's Gulls are really cute, I tell myself as I try not to be annoyed because there aren't any weird ducks around right now. #birds 🪶 🌿 #WeirdDuckSeason #NotCuteGullSeason

Have been up since 3:30AM est

My latest weird duck watercolour was calling for completion so I listened.

These #commongoldeneye ducks are a commission. And a little different for me as I generally just draw a single bird.

I think weird duck season has officially started because I'm looking at a duck that hasn't been here before. Hoping it gets closer so I can identify it. #weirdduckseason

Greater Scaup. Also referred to as the Oreo duck.

Lesser Scaup

One of the trickier birds for me to identify, relying mostly on my Merlin app. The pointier head shape of the Lesser is the identifying feature I find most helpful.
