There was a trio of beautiful Hooded Mergansers on Fall Creek near the suspension bridge at Flat Rock, when we crossed at about 12:45pm after a long walk. Two males were escorting an elegant female, flashing their hoods in the sunlight and displaying non-competitively. Beavers have been cutting down a lot of beech and other small trees all along the north bank of the creek.
