We're seeing surprisingly low activity from our so far: just two nests incubating, with three nests in various stages. Perhaps the go fast-go slow spring here in the North American mid-Atlantic has reset their clocks. The Wood Duck hen in box #62 (see photo) is trying to incubate 20 eggs.

Happy ! 🦆✨

This is a very special sight from my last birding trip in 2022. Mergansers are rare where I live, and I saw not one but two species. 🤩

In first plane they are some Common Merganser (Mergus merganser), in the back near the shore we have a group of Hooded Merganser (Lophodytes cucullatus).
