HOODED MERGANSER (M&F Pair)

Out on the kayak on the Thornapple River. I was parked on the bank and these two glided in for a water landing.

A conservation success & new additions!
 
We are celebrating a conservation milestone – the hatchings of Edwards’s pheasants and red-breasted merganser chicks, both are first-time hatchings for the Zoo.
