Bad hair day: This (merganser?) swam by me with little fear. Unfortunately I think he was on his way out. Dull eyes, bad plumage and lack of energy.

Yep, red-breasted merganser, but he does look like he's ill. Up here in NE WI, they are all little mergansicles this time of the year, but they are always happy, active, and bright-eyed... even when they are glazed in ice from all that diving after minnows.

Thanks BB4A for checking in. It's good to hear the new crop is as lively as ever. I'd like to get an image of one glazed in ice as you described. vz

C'mon VZ! He partied all night Sunday into Monday watching the Super Bowl. Then Tuesday through Wednesday for the parade. Doesn't everyone in New England look like that now? Gary

I like your response Gary. Why didn't I think of that? vz
