DUCKS!!! (I mean, MERGANSERS!!!!)


 
The pond behind our house has a regular crew of ducks and geese who make their homes therein.  A bunch of mallards, a pair of ducks I've not successfully identified yet, a flock of grey (and noisy!) barnyard geese, and the occasional flight of Canada Geese will settle in on their way north or south.  Today, I spotted flashes of white that I didn't recognize, and it turned out to be these little buggers! I have no idea what they are, anyone know?  I feel so blessed to have THIS in my backyard!
 
Update:  They apparently are Hooded Mergansers.
