Subject:      Hooded Mergansers in Henry

I stepped outside to see what the Blue Jays were screaming about but spotted
two bright spots of white flashing way out on the big lake.  This time it was
not the back end of a bottom-grubbing goose, but two male and three female
Hooded Mergansers.  The males had their crests fully raised and all five
birds seemed to be chasing each other around a bit.  Perhaps there is some
competition out there between the males on this invigorating fall day !!
