Four beavers happy together munching on sticks, another swimming alone and a pair of hooded mergansers on the morning ramble, which we sneaked in before snow started squalling again.

@GPJohnston I've been seeing a lot of mergansers here too

@sarae we’ve had three hoodies hanging around for weeks now, usually we only see them occasionally.

@sarae @GPJohnston The small pond ("Lake Joan") in our pasture had a pair of Hooded Mergansers a couple of days ago. It is fairly common that some will visit us briefly in the spring on their way to somewhere else.
