Mergus serrator
The Red-breasted Merganser if primarily a sea duck and is very rarely seen inland.
I love how the female merganser is swimming along with her head under water looking for food, which for a merganser, means fish.

I remember seeing these guys also in the coasts of New England in the harshest of the winter :-)
Truly adorable.
Thanks, I like it when I can get a breeding pair together in the same photo like this:)
Nice spotting.
