Red-breasted
Merganser - Mergus serrator
The
red-breasted merganser is a freshwater duck, but it
is different from the other freshwater ducks. They
have long thin orange bills that look like the edge
of a saw blade. They feed on fish
so their bills are well adapted for that purpose.
The
drake, like many of the other duck species, has very
fancy feathers. Its head is green, and its back is
black and white. Its bill and feet are reddish orange.
The hen, on the other hand, has a kind of grayish body
feathers. Its head is brown. Its belly side feathers
are whitish. The middle part of its wings are white.
The
mergansers spend all year here, and like the other
freshwater ducks, they are very difficult to hunt.
This is because they can be spooked very easily. Because
the merganser feeds on fish, it has a fishy taste when
it is cooked.
The
mergansers nest here during the summer. They nest near
the lakes on the islands without foxes. Their nests
are usually found under a grassy bank, or in the long
grasses. They lay from eight to ten eggs a year. The
eggs are pinkish orange in color. They can be eaten
if they have not been incubated for long.
