The female Common Merganser is mostly gray, with a rusty head, and white throat. Her long, thin, serrated bill is a deep salmon color. Her legs and webbed feet are orange. I think she's a very elegant, beautiful bird.
Was feeling low, and in need of joy, awe, and beauty. This gal gave me life today.
