This male Red-breasted Merganser duck (Mergus serrator) that I spotted last week in the waters off of Occoquan Bay National Wildlife Refuge seemed to be having a bad hair day (or was going for a punk look). At this stage of my life, I’d be happy just to have a hair day.
According to the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, “Red-breasted Mergansers are among the fastest flying ducks, clocking speeds of up to 81 miles per hour.” Wow!

Nice one Mike
Wow! That is like super fast!
Mike, you are so funny sometimes. 🙂
Sometimes on purpose and sometimes accidentally. 🙂
