Description
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. It breeds in the boreal forest on freshwater and saltwater wetlands. 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 do the same messy. It parades around coastal waters and large inland lakes in the United States and Mexico in the winter. Taken in Barnstable County, Cape Cod, Massachusetts in March.
