Hooded Mergansers

Discovery Trail- Hooded Mergansers. April 19, 2013. In a duck pond with a mix of wild and captive birds/turtles.
 
hooded merganser (Lophodytes cucullatus); you can tell most easily by the big white patch on the head -- Mergus males have wholly dark heads.
 
ID?

Common Mergansers [we call them Goosanders over here] are twice the size, and very differently marked.
