These two Common Mergansers dunked under at the exact same time. I thought it was adorable!

White-Winged Scoter At Nauset Marsh On Cape Cod.
The Fork On the Nauset Marsh Trail On Cape Cod.
After the snow over the weekend, it was a beautiful day for a hike on the Nauset Marsh Trail. There were a few footprints in the snow, but not too many.
As you round the first bend by the Salt Pond, you can see that the tide was pretty high. Make sure you go left and up at the fork or you’ll need your high rubber boots to get through the water on the trail. It was higher than I’ve ever seen it. Wow!
Beautiful Red-Breasted Mergansers At Salt Pond On Cape Cod.
Have you be ever seen a Red-Breasted Merganser? They are the coolest looking birds with their “bad hair” days and their red eyes and beaks. (Click on blog link for other photo.)
You can see the difference in coloring between the male and female. The male is much more vibrant as the females are gray overall. So much fun to watch them!
