Description
“It is about five o’clock in an evening that the first hour of spring strikes ~ autumn arrives in the early morning, but spring at the close of a winter day.”
~ Elizabeth Bowen
~ Irish novelist
~ 1899-1973
In the waning hours of winter, these common merganser drake & hen ducks dream of the arrival of spring in the early evening of the last day of winter ~ March 19, 2021 ~ in the waters of the Jordan Creek along the Jordan Creek Greenway at Covered Bridge Park, Orefield, Pennsylvania.
The common merganser or goosander is a large seaduck of rivers and lakes in forested areas of Europe, Asia & North America. The common merganser eats fish and nests in holes in trees.

Thanks so very much Steve! I don't see these too often around here, not like the mallards which I see all the time. This is the first time I've seen a "couple," the drake and hen together of the common mergansers:)
