We saw an eBird report of a Common Goldeneye x Hooded Merganser hybrid duck at Northerly Island, and decided to try and see it. At first, we didn't think it was there, only seeing some Red-breasted Mergansers and a Common Goldeneye, but we persevered, and saw it! I got some pics of it flying, and with a Common Goldeneye and some Hooded Mergansers! When we got home and looked at my pictures, we noticed that I had taken pictures of the Hooded Golden Merg, as we call it, the three Hooded Mergansers, and a Common Merganser! I thought the Common Merganser was a Red-breasted!
