Not Quite Ducky

This Common Merganser hen swims by me at Spenard Crossing in Anchorage, following her significant other to an area just across from me. I don't think of these birds as ducks since they have such interesting long bills with sharp teeth-like serrations. They rested a bit while doing a bit of grooming and then the drake seemed to notice me and they were off again.
