The Red-breasted Merganser is a shaggy-headed diving duck also known as the "sawbill"; named for its thin bill with tiny serrations on it that it uses to keep hold of slippery fish.
Males are decked out with a dark green shaggy head, a red bill and eye, and a rusty chest.
Females lack the male's bright colors but also don the same messy do. It parades around coastal waters and large inland lakes in Winter.
This very cooperative Green Heron took up a hunting perch on the stick of wood you see here. Normally they stretch out their magic neck while tightly gripping their perch with their feet, and they are strong enough to strike all the way to the surface of the water and pull themselves back into place without ever leaving the perch. In this instance, however, this guy sprung into the water to catch a small minnow. Topaz did a nice job cleaning up the noise and I removed a few small floaters on the surface of the water.

Wikipedia: The green bee-eater (Merops orientalis), also known as little green bee-eater, is a near passerine bird in the bee-eater family. It is resident but prone to seasonal movements and is found widely distributed across sub-Saharan Africa from Senegal and the Gambia to Ethiopia, the Nile valley, western Arabia and Asia through India to Vietnam. They are mainly insect eaters and they are found in grassland, thin scrub and forest often quite far from water. Several regional plumage variations are known and several subspecies have been named.

This week's theme for Mosaic Montage Monday was Pink & Green. Intriguing weather with a marbleized sky. HMMM!
