I spent some time Monday at Northshore Marina on the Grand Haven Channel and spotted this male Hooded Merganser enjoying lunch, several Common Goldeneye, and male and female Red-breasted Mergansers (male pictured). Also, is this a picture of a Mallard-American Black Duck hybrid noted in Caleb Putnam's post?

Never saw one of those before -- I wonder how common it is.

Sure looks like a hybrid, doesn't it. Let's see if someone who knows will chime in. Meanwhile, it's good to see that the male Hooded Mergie is still around. He's been a winter regular there for many years. I think he thinks he's a Mallard.
