Hi - Mr. Sanders ID's the little guy as a rough winged swallow. The duck certainly looks like a female hooded merganser, but female mergansers do not have yellow eyes. I am going back daily to try to get some good pictures of the pair of mallards that this guy swims around with, who I thought were the parents. Thx for response. Marcia
