Opposite Mergansers

These two Female Common Mergansers were looking in opposite directions. Maybe they were two sisters that did not along, only they will know for sure. The British call this bird the "Goosander." The female Common Merganser has a solid gray body with a reddish-brown head. She has a narrow, red, serrate bill and white chin-patch at the base of the lower mandible. The short crest of the female is often not obvious.
