Picture 4
Male Red-breasted Merganser
Photo taken by Adrian Binns in Gloucester, Cape Ann on the New England trip Feb 20, 2005
This is a male Red-breasted Merganser showing a look and pose
that is probably not to familiar to most of us. Note the 3-4 black feather shafts
on the secondaries, that are located towards the tertails. These can also be
seen in flight.
