Small duck with white underbelly, brown plumage elsewhere and a tuft of long, fluffy feathers on her head.
While her male counterpart tends to grab the spotlight, I think this female hooded merganser has a special charm of her own.

Let’s hear it for the “LBB’s.” A white-throated sparrow with a dash of yellow by the eyes. #BrownIsBeautiful #Yellow #BirdOfTheDay #Birds #BostonBirds 🪶
Male and female hooded merganser ducks standing on a submerged branch in a river.
Exhibiting #poise with their #white accents, this hooded merganser couple feels fully qualified to be a #BirdOfTheDay.

Close-up profile view of Canada goose showing S-curve of neck.
Admittedly not my favorite bird species but in #WinterLight this one had some compositional charm.

Saw these ducks yesterday, but I was too far away and without binoculars - looks to me like either ruddy duck or bufflehead, thoughts from fellow birders? Boston area! 🪶🦆 #birding #bostonbirds #birdsky
A Canadian goose on a pond
A cackling goose was reported in my area on eBird so I've been taking close looks at the geese but so far only Canadian geese to be seen 🪶🦆 #birding #bostonbirds #birdsky

Even ordinary backyard birds console. Set up my trail cam to catch these city dwellers. Northern mockingbird, American robin, mourning doves.

I love these two cormorants who hang out at my local pond in the morning to bask in the sun 🪶🐦 #birding #birdsky #bostonbirds

There was a veritable smorgasbord of birds at my park today! Mergansers, cormorants, a hawk, a woodpecker, buffleheads, and of course the regulars: geese, mallards, and cardinals ❤️🪶🐦🦆 #birding #birdsky #bostonbirds
Picture of two male wood ducks and a female swimming in a line on a pond, alongside a sleeping black and white duck in the center of the frame and a Canadian goose to the top right.
I saw the much coveted (to me) male wood duck today! Before this I'd only seen the females, so I was super excited! 🦆🪶 Also pictured is a duck that was sleeping so I couldn't properly see it's markings but I think it might be a ring necked duck, and a Canadian goose. #birding #birdsky #bostonbirds
A woodpecker with a red head and black and white spotted wings clinging to a brown tree trunk among branches
