Female Red-breasted Merganser Stretching Her Wings

Another stroll down by Woodbine Beach with the dog, where I caught a glimpse of the local female Red-Breasted Merganser who stretched her wings before spotting me and quickly swimming away.

I always seem to keep seeing female Red-breasted Mergansers (more than one) in this area, but never the males. Maybe something to do with territoriality?

Also saw (but didn’t take a good photograph of) one of the pair of over-wintering Robins that seem to live somewhere just south of Queen Street.
