Although a Hooded Merganser is certainly not a rare species, I've discovered that there aren't that many breeding records for Colorado -- 1st Breeding Bird Atlas had none!
So what a surprise when I walked past Little Dry Creek on my property and saw a female with 1 chick! New yard bird -- very exciting. There are lots of holes in the trees -- and one that's being used by Wood Ducks this year -- but I never thought a Merganser would use them!
