DonnaPomeroy, I must be tired. I have some pix of common mergansers and was thinking ahead about posting those. Yes, this is a Red-breasted merganser. Thanks.

Nice series of photos. In the first shot, there appears to be streaking on the breast, suggesting this is a Red-breasted Merganser. Do you have any clearer views of the breast?
