This is at the edge of my capabilities and camera, but I was happy to catch this male merganser in full flight upstream.

Eventually they were side-by-side making a very graceful pair. ❤️🦆

Then we spotted her upstream in the shallows of the far shore.

We spotted him first racing downstream as we were walking along the river.

Color moves gently across open water, carrying a quiet ease.
Feathers drift in a calm, unhurried rhythm.
Light traces a soft path along the tide.
The moment settles into a calm that feels naturally its own.

A beautiful bird flies by with wings down. Its dark head has a hint of green with bold red eye and orange bill. White highlights the neck and wings.
The female has less colour than the male but still gorgeous with its red eye and dark eyering and a reddish brown replaces the dark, greenish head. The body and wings are not the same but very similar to the male.

Stretching its wings a merganser rises up to reveal its white belly with water drops highlighted in the sun.
And now the merganser shows its wing feathers as it shakes water from its wings.

A wide variety of ducks on Central Park's Reservoir this morning, including this stunning Red-breasted Merganser. If you look closely, you can see that it has a serrated bill--useful for catching small fish! 🐟🐟🐟 #Merganser #CentralPark #birdsseenin2026
