    So goosander is another name for merganser? I need to do some research on this. We saw our first mergansers this summer (in Alaska). Beautiful pictures.

      Thank you Sallie! Goosander and common merganser are the same bird. :-)

    I think Mergansers are such lovely birds and your images are wonderful. Our species should be migrating through very soon~
