Good one. I see some of these almost every day during the winter here in Denver. They are my favorite ducks to watch. Thank you for sharing this great video. I learned many things.
I've noticed a male/female pair and also a single male swimming in our pond every evening for the last few weeks beginning at the end of December. I love watching them swim around and dive. Great video!
Wonderful video! Thanks for the info and great photos! I just started birding a few weeks ago and happened to spot a pair of Hooded Mergansers a few days ago in Northern North Dakota.
I take walks at a nearby pond. There are 6 ducks someone bought from the Tractor supply store and placed in this pond. They can't fly off. Recently I saw a baby duck that sort of hung out with them, but not always. I noticed it would dive under the water and stay for a long time. After about two weeks a small flock of hooded mergansers appeared. I believe this lone baby duck is a female hooded merganser. I hope so at least because I no longer see the lone baby duck. This group of hooded mergancers won't let me get close enough to get a good look through my binoclors. When I get on one side of the pond they swim to the other side.
I saw a momma today with about 12 ducklings at an old canal. I never saw one of these birds before. Fascinating!
Beautiful footage and info my friend. Superb like.

been seeing these a lot in the twin cities area of minnesota in the past month or so, really unique looking birds
I love these guys - they are such excellent divers.
Great video. I am a duck stamp artist. I am placing four Duck Boxes this weekend. Hoping for Wood Ducks and Hooded Mergansers both!
That would be great, I'm sure they'd both be fun to watch! Thanks for watching!

I’ve seen common mergansers, buffleheads, and wood ducks. I really want to see one of these guys
I've seen many in the wild but I also keep them. ua-cam.com/video/7Rab4rU8jO0/v-deo.html
Great info and beautiful images
Nice!
They remind me of penguins in their form of diving and hunting
