In this photo we see a couple of Hooded Mergansers (Lophodytes cucullatus) who were just swimming in the pond over by the Recreation center on UNCW's campus. Interestingly enough they actually migrate to regions of the US that are free of ice for the winter. Wilmington is in a region that rarely gets snow or ice so it makes a great environment for these ducks. These ducks are a good example of conditions and resources because Wilmington has warmer conditions during the winter for the Hooded Merganser and these conditions also allow them to find resources more easily, like food and mates.
